Check in with Vontae was amazing. He made me feel very welcome! Each day when I saw him he was always great and remembered my name. The entire vibe here is comfortable. It's nice to be in a neighborhood rather than on a busy and loud road. Restaurant on sight is a treat!
View from room window. A great room at The Ambassador!

Location was great! Walking distance to the Red line CTA station, which we took all over town. The free breakfast was restaurant quality, well beyond a typical hotel breakfast. The bar was lively and fun, so the 2 free drinks were a nice plus.

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.
