Congress Plaza Hotel
Hotel is centrally located and it would be the only reason I would consider staying here again. The room itself was clean and has the essentials. However, this hotel is older and is in desperate need of a facelift. Staff was friendly.

Freehand Chicago
CONS: stayed in room 808. super dark, only had low lighting, which my partner and i suspect was so they could hide the stains of the room. view was of the ugly back side of the building. worst part was the ac/heater. it was cold when we were there in early may and we were told the heater wasn't working ...
