A stunning hotel lobby, inviting hotel bar, and excellent hotel breakfast buffet made for a great spot for us to land on our two night Chicago trip. We took the bus everywhere from nearby the hotel, so being a little farther north was not a bother to us on our sight seeing. It was nice to be couched in an area of local apartments and shops for locals (not necessarily tourists). It was a beautiful, leafy neighborhood to be in during late summer. Our room had cool design, a little wear on the carpet, and a comfortable, clean bed and bathroom. We'd stay here again.

I travel to Chicago regularly and the Ambassador is my preferred hotel. However, this time was different. The front desk staff seemed frazzled and unwelcoming. In my room, the body wash and the tissues were empty. I couldn't call the front desk because phones have been removed from the rooms. I stayed two nights and received no housekeeping services. So the problems in my room were not fixed. It's still the same beautiful hotel, but staffing problems seem to be an issue.

Nice hotel

The location was perfect for us as we were visiting our daughter who lives on the same street as the hotel. The main/common areas of the hotel are very nice, but the rooms are just ok, and the bathroom was every small. I will stay here again based on location.

Only as a last resort…

Long lines, disgruntled staff, cigarette smoking residue in a non-smoking room and a broken AC. Shout out to the maintenance man who came to my room at 9:30 and fixed the air conditioner and brought air freshener. Great breakfast, and they do give you a bag filled with water. Wasn’t my first choice, not sure I will be back anytime soon. The hotel industry is still adapting post Covid and it shows.
