Top Essex Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saint Clair- Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"great location and very clean and spacious room."

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel with a lot of rooms, so I am never sure what to expect -- but this was a good stay. We stored our bags at the beginning and end of our stay with no problems. Our room was in the north tower and it had been refurbished. Beds were comfortable enough, and it was clean even if some parts of the room (i.e. doors and windows) show their age. You can't beat the location for sightseeing and it's close to multiple L stations. For a Bears home game weekend, the room was the most reasonably priced I could find downtown. It will never be the nicest hotel in downtown Chicago, but it quite often offers the best value."
