Trip Type: Business Review 3 of 110Charming neighborhood hotel
This is an old hotel with lots of history. Very charming. One block from the lake and within two blocks of great restaurants and shopping. I stayed here 15 years ago and it's very much the same. They still have the Author's suite where Ernest Hemingway stayed often. The room is filled with books signed by the authors. Of course it is home to the fabulous Pump Room restuarant; the hall is line with photographs of the stars who have dined here over the years. Keep in mind it is old but they do there very best to keep it clean. Highly recommended!

Trip Type: Business Review 5 of 110Excellent Location
Excellent location to bars and restaurants. Staff was friendly. Decor was a little dated. The ceiling paint in my bathroom was peeling off. I'd stay in the hotel again.

Ambassador East used to be a lovely hotel; it has gone way downhill. On top of that, the management and staff do not seem to notice or care. I made myself comfortable and the location was exactly right. The doormen were friendly and courteous. Making the reservation told me in the first place that staff does not care and is not empowered. So I went and made the reservation through Hotels.com -- a great summer deal. Room's carpet was filthy. Had to ask repeatedly for a bottom sheet that went all the way to the end of the bed. Asked for and got a frig and microwave (both old) but the person who brought them did not plug them in properly or check to make sure they were working. I had to do it myself. I hope this hotel upgrades and remembers why they are in business.

The hotel was beatiful but I'm pretty sure I got a bitten by bed bugs. That was upsetting.

Gorgeous Hotel! A little gem off North Beach and very close to the Gold Coast. Within walking distasce of shops but not in the heart of them.
