Congress Plaza Hotel
I didn’t have any hot water for the first 36 hours or so. There is no WiFi. The TV has around 15 channels but no remote. Neither of the restaurants were open during my 3 day stay. Beds are super hard.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown River North
Great location. Room was very hot. U can't switch heat to AC in the rooms. U just have to deal with what the hotel has it on. Also they would only give us one little fan to cool off. Not 2 which I'm sure they had plenty of. Other then that no complaints. They give a free happy hour with 2 free drinks ...
