Congress Plaza Hotel
Facilities were clean and the room had what we needed. Doors could be insulated better to reduce sound at the floor-to-door area. Neighbors were very loud waking us up several times. Security was called and promptly responded. Followed their word saying they would remove the guests if it happened ...

Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago
Was a really nice hotel. My only concerns was the phones in the room didn’t work. No way to call front desk, front people weren’t super helpful and there was no microwave. Rooftop bar and room were excellent

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites
The hotel staff is excellent! Very friendly and very helpful. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The only issue I had was the charging ports and electrical sockets next to our bed did not work which made overnight charging of our phones and watches difficult.
