Top hotels in Avondale
Congress Plaza Hotel
No hot water and while there was a note slid under my door at sometime, still that isn't a good reason to be glib about the fact that there was no hot water. I get that things happen, but it was disappointing.

Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites
No air conditioning available until April. We went during spring break and it was warmer. The room was very hot and there was not a good way to cool it. The staff was not friendly.
