The rooms are dated however clean and again, not bad considering almost the entire
downtown
was sold out.

With Buckingham Fountain right out front and walking distance to the Field Museum, Willis (Sears) Tower, and
Downtown
it's perfect.

Why?, It was at least $100 a night cheaper than any other
downtown
hotel and less than 1/2 the price of most.

Usually we stayed in the suburbs, but by the time you drive into the city and park
downtown
you've wasted plenty of time and money.

We chose the Congress on 3 factors: 1) it is in prime location in the loop, 2) it was the cheapest in that area-and anywhere
downtown
for that matter, and 3) the couple we traveled with stayed there in the spring.
"The Congress Plaza is a lot better than some people say on this site. "

I live in Chicago NW Suburbs myself, but get visitors from Europe relatively often i.e. stay overnight
downtown
quite frequently, so it's good to have a few well-located yet moderate rated hotels "in pocket".
