Top Harold Washington Library Center Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is huge with the historic main room being spectacular. Our room was a hike to get to but very clean, newer vinyl flooring, newer paint. We needed a one night stay for an event further south in the city so it was perfect for that. The location is pretty wonderful with Buckingham fountain and the park right outside the front door. What wasn't so great was the front desk personnel. Seemed like they just hated their job. Not quite rude but getting there with my polite simple questions. Also the main restaurant was supposed to be open on Friday night but closed early? The bar area was unappealing so we ended up walking a block to the Conrad Hilton and had a great experience in their bar with food being served until late. Would we stay again? If for a short stay, yes."

Palmer House a Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Sound proof building with old school architecture and charm."

"All-day quality coffee service on the first floor was an excellent idea. I had some difficulty using the streaming service on the room TV. The technician had to come to the room and helped me. The next day, it did not work as explained. I wish the system were simpler to follow."
