Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay"

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites

2/10 Terrible

"So the hotel was very clean and up to date. Check in was smooth and great staff then the issue. Our 2nd night the room next to us started with music and a party at 12:30 am called the front desk and asked for someone to call the room. An Hr later at 1:30am we had to make another call still going. Finally exhausted we fell sleep. Now the 2nd night it gets better 3:30 am the music and smoking weed felt like I got a contact high had enough checked out at 6:30 with the music and party still going. Felt like I was in a motel 6. Told the front clerk to have management to call me. Still have to received any kind of call!!! Hotel doesn’t care about guests!!!!"
