Great place to stay

Very friendly staff, the room was clean, but did not smell of cleaning products or perfumes. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Very Satisfied

We found a very inexpensive deal, so with that in mind we were very satisfied. The service was excellent. The surrounding neighborhood was quiet and it was a very simple walk to the Red Line. Our room left a little to be desired - the bathroom door did not latch unless you deadbolted it and the TV was tiny (though we didn't even use it) - but it was about what we'd expect for the price we paid. The best part was that we went to Chicago primarily for a concert, and upon our arrival after the concert and a few drinks, we ended up sharing the elevator ride with two members from the band! Overall very satisfied.

Old Old Old

This is a VERY old hotel that is in major need of renovation. The location was good for what we wanted, which was the beach for the air and water show and Hugo's Frog Bar. They were all within walking distance. So it was just ok but think will try somewhere else next year.

Dirty stained room...

The room did not cost much, and it showed. I thought I was getting a good deal at a nice hotel, and while the lobby and public areas of the hotel that I saw were VERY nice, the room had large stains on the carpet, and it had a view of the fire escape and a wall. The bathroom door didn't latch, and the shower was dirty. I wouldn't go back again. I stayed at the downtown Holiday Inn the next two nights and found the room to be MUCH nicer. (and cost lots less)

"The Beverly Hills of Chicago"

The Ambassador East Hotel was described by the door man as being in the "Beverly Hills of Chicago", and I'd have to say, not being from Chicago of course, I have a hard time arguing with that. Surrounding homes in the area sold for as much as $3,500,000. Needless to say, we felt very comfortable and safe at all times. The staff was very courteous, and left messages letting us know that they would clean our room whenever we needed, as they were very excellent at respecting our privacy door tab. My only minor complaint was that the window curtain was damaged in the room we stayed in. For the price payed, and considering the quality of the hotel, I would have expected that to be taken care of before the room was rented out to us. Overall, I would give the Ambassador East a rating of 5/5.

Outstanding Hotel

It was 2 blocks from the beach. I went there every day at 5am to see the gorgeous sunrise over Lake Michigan!!!!! Great location for all shopping and sights also. The Pump Room has great food and great service.
