Congress Plaza Hotel
Hotel Riu Plaza Chicago
Was a really nice hotel. My only concerns was the phones in the room didn’t work. No way to call front desk, front people weren’t super helpful and there was no microwave. Rooftop bar and room were excellent

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites
The hotel staff is excellent! Very friendly and very helpful. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The only issue I had was the charging ports and electrical sockets next to our bed did not work which made overnight charging of our phones and watches difficult.
