"Enjoy our stay very much at the River Hotel. Was there during the Air and Water Show weekend this summer. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in and check out processes were smooth. The view from our room on the 28th floor was gorgeous. The only thing that would have made it even better was to have a microwave and fridge in the room."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel. We had a King size bed overlooking Buckingham fountain. Booking a park view room is highly recommended. The shower/bathroom is on the smaller end, however, knowing the history of the hotel, it comes at no surprise. The hotel itself has so much history and has quite a few famous guests throughout it's time. We are already planning our next trip back to Chicago and will likely stay here again! Highly recommend staying here!"
