The Congress is a short wall to the Symphony, and the art museum. It's an old hotel but clean and everything worked. Mattresses were a little too firm for me.

Great central location. Inexpensive compared to other hotels in area. Hotel staff very helpful. Renovations underway on some of the rooms on our floor but not an issue. Perhaps reason for lower cost. Hotel parking extremely high priced so booked online underground parking at Grant Park South. Just a block and half walk from hotel.
