Ambassador East Hotel

Historic hotel in very pleasant area of Chicago

We enjoy quality older hotels and the Ambassador East met all our expectations with a pleasant and helpful staff. The location, although a little north of the center of town, was away from the hustle and bustle and in a very pleasant area just two blocks from the lake.

Outstanding Hotel

For nice and very friendly and helpful.

Very nice hotel

Clean and quiet. In Gold Coast part of Chicago, charming neighborhood. About an hour walk to the Art Institute of Chicago. Bathroom didn't have a counter to put all my toiletries, just 2 strips of shelves. Parking isn't free, about $40 a night. There is a public parking lot across the street that charges $29 a night.

Excellent Hotel in the Heart of Chicago

We were very pleased with this hotel. The doormen and valet parking were great, the elevators quick, the place was clean and the staff friendly and professional. When we first arrived in Chicago we decided to have our grandson stay and needed a rollaway bed. When we got to the room there were two things we did not like: 1) the room was too small for a rollaway bed and 2) the room was next to the elevator and elevator shaft, which made a lot of noise. When asked to change, the front desk was pleasant, the doorman (same man) came to once again move our things and was pleasant and professional. We did not feel bad asking for a change. The room we got moved to was beautiful, clean and large. We will definitely stay here again. Just count on high cost of parking in the city.

good location

we were told we would have a roll away waiting during our reservation; then told we could not get one once we arrived. After several minutes, they were able to accomomidate us, but I had to get more direct than I like. The rooms were nice, but housekeeping did not vacuum the 2nd day we were there. Overall, nice accomidations and good location for the money.

Lovely hotel, great location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, especially as it was only 3 blocks from the beach and there were good restaurants close by. Staff was very accommodating. My only complaint is the gym equipment needs updating.

Great room for the money

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. It's in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to a lot of places. We were a little disappointed that the wireless wasn't free but they did provide 3 computers at no cost for us to use.

Historic hotel nestled into a nice residential neighborhood.

The area where the hotel is located is charming. The hotel itself is only blocks form the lake, and is in a quiet residential neighborhood.

Wonderful Hotel

Lovely staff- very helpful, wonderful personalities and attitudes. Great room- very clean, great view of the water & city, tv was a bit small (but who visits Chicago to watch tv?) but amenities were plentiful. The hotel is a wonderful piece of history- that said, it is in need of minor repairs. Other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay, the location was superb- walked downtown to Michigan Street, to Navy Pier, and the Zoo (even my 4 yr old made it). I would absolutely stay again & refer friends to it.

Must Stay

For a Hotel that has this much history and for the age of the hotel, it exceeded my expectations. The professional staff and friendliness made all the difference. The location is just outside the city and only 2 blocks from the beach!
