Ambassador East Hotel

Very Nice!

Rooms are small, hotel has a great deal of character. Beds very coomfortable. Bathroom is small and has no counter space. Overall a great place and close to walk to Michigan Ave.

Ambassador East Shines

A Gold Coast classic, spacious and elegant. Super comfy beds. Helpful, friendly staff.

Great Hotel at a Reasonable Price

We enjoyed our stay at the Ambassador East. Service was excellent and the room was large (we had a parlor suite). It is clean, and our room had free internet (but only if you call the desk and get the password.) Parking is $40 per 24 hours.

Very helpful, curtious staff.

I don't usually stay at high-end hotels, so it was nice to feel pampered and taken care of.

Shabby Chic

Excellent location, grand old hotel that needs a bit of a face lift. Great value if you can get past the dated decore and frayed carpet. Very clean and comfortable in a nice residential neighborhood steps away from the nightlife on Rush Street or the shopping on Oak Street and Michigan Avenue. The Pump Room is a Chicago institution - great drinks and usually live music on the weekends.

outstanding.

Great location! Have stayed here multiple times and it has always been a wonderful experience. The Pump Room restaurant is fabulous.

Some issues we had....

We had some issues with the service at this hotel. The room was fine and clean and no issues with the room itself. But I wanted to get in contact with the consierge desk to arrange for a taxi in the morning. I called several times with no answer and finally left a message and asked them to call me regarding getting a taxi for the morning. no one returned my call. Then, the hotel advised that room service started at 5:30am. We called and called and called with no answer. We finally called the front desk at 5:45am to ask what was going on since we had to be on the road by 6:20am and they said they were still getting organized to open up. I'm sorry, but if you advertise that room service starts at 5:30am, please don't be telling me at 5:45am that you're not ready to take orders. Then, we go outside and give our ticket to the valet parking to get our car and they lose the ticket and after standing outside for 15 mins, we ask them where our car is and they look at us with a blank stare and had no idea where our car ticket went. They had to hunt our car down via license plate..... Service wasn't good for us.

Room issues

Our room was right next to the elevator which had more noise than other rooms. Also i booked a king deluxe and they gave us a queen their excuse was that it was not guaranteed i guess it was in the small print. I was not happy but did not complain. Room service was good. Hotel was overall okay nice area.

great room for the money

very convenient to downtown chicago in a charming neighborhood, felt very safe walking at night. bathroom was inconvenient in that there was not a counter to set makeup kit while getting ready, towel racks across bathroom from shower and no towel rack next to sink. We would stay again as our overall rating exceeded the few inconveniences in the bathroom.

Guest did not leave a comment.

Great deal, great hotel

About a block off of State street. Easy access to main attractions. Staff was very courteous. Old, but very nice.

Great Staff, Good Location

While this hotel is not in the middle of downtown, it is only a short walk to the subway and a short ride to downtown. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were on the smaller side, but we did not spend much time there so it wasn't an issue for us. The beds were very comfortable and overall the hotel is well kept considering it's age.

High class hotel

Great service from a hotel with such a great history. we would certainly stay again in the future,

Good deal

Great location and we loved the Pump Room
