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.

Nice hotel

The location was perfect for us as we were visiting our daughter who lives on the same street as the hotel. The main/common areas of the hotel are very nice, but the rooms are just ok, and the bathroom was every small. I will stay here again based on location.

Only as a last resort…

Long lines, disgruntled staff, cigarette smoking residue in a non-smoking room and a broken AC. Shout out to the maintenance man who came to my room at 9:30 and fixed the air conditioner and brought air freshener. Great breakfast, and they do give you a bag filled with water. Wasn’t my first choice, not sure I will be back anytime soon. The hotel industry is still adapting post Covid and it shows.
