Top Harold Washington Library Center Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Congress is a historic hotel right at the Southern end of Michigan Avenue. Clearly, it's seen better days. Now, they are restoring it floor by floor. But, the main entry to the hotel is pretty rough. Some of the floors haven't been rehabbed, the bar is possibly the poorest bar in terms of quality of any of the historic hotels I've stayed in during my Chicago trips. The check in process is largely like going to the DMV. There's not a lot of customer service or friendly welcoming banter. No valet parking, there isn't daily maid service, either. The room I had was pretty nice, as it had been on the rehabbed side of the South tower. There was only one working elevator on this tower, so the rides up and down were long and packed. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were fluffy, and the bathroom was really good. The Congress is typically less expensive than the more upgraded spots such as the Blackstone, Hilton, or Palmer House."

Hilton Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the property's elegance and location, with all the sightseeing sites within walking distance of the hotel. I also enjoyed the Irish pub and restaurant in the main lobby."

THE MIDLAND HOTEL, Chicago, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room, friendly staff."

River Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed the lounge/coffee bar on 2nd floor"

Sentral Michigan Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"The cleanliness and and the size and having 2 bathrooms the view for the price."

Arlo Chicago

8/10 Good

"The hotel lobby is not very big, and they had a Rabbit pop-up for the Chicago Marathon weekend. It was very crowded, and the bar and restaurant are much smaller than I thought."

Fairmont Chicago at Millennium Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Rooms are very comfortable, clean, and luxurious. Had a great sister's weekend at this location!"

HI Chicago Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my buddy got an 8 bedded room but it was nice! We were on the opposite side of the subway so it was a good nights of sleep! You’ll def see homeless on the side of the building but they never were too much of a worry, if you don’t bother them they won’t bother you. They also had a pool table there which was nice to meet new travelers. Everything is also so central that walking a little bit gets you close to the red line to travel even further up Chicago if you’d like to take the sub! Would stay again :)"

Club Quarters Hotel, Central Loop, Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, quiet, comfortable, convenient with great check-in service. Affordable. Great location. All you need."
