Top Evanston Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

Congress Plaza Hotel

6/10 Okay
"The room was clean but the bed was so hard if felt like you were sleeping on the floor. The mattress did not even give when you sat on it. Did not see any hotel staff around the entire stay except for a maid, a bellman and the security guards that were everywhere, which makes you nervous that they have to have that much security for a hotel. Will not stay at this property again."
