Top hotels in East Village
Congress Plaza Hotel
Cool historic lobby. Cheap but really old. HVAC needs major upgrade. Halls look pretty dank. Long hairs in tub when I first checked into room. Ick. Owner needs to borrow, upgrade, increase price a bit, pace all this strategically in phases.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North
Not the value it used to be. They offer so-called freebies, like happy hour drinks and breakfast but don't staff with enough people to cover the hundreds of guests that come to partake. Been coming to Embassy Suites for 28 years but this time was the last. Too many other choices

Nice and clean. Close to everything! Great location.
