Needs a big update. Price reflects quality of hotel. Carpets look like they have never been cleaned, chairs in room are stained and some rooms smell like smoke. I had to change rooms 3 times to get a half way decent room.

This hotel is not as updated as the photos show. The lobby is done well, but the interior hallways and our room at least had a more surface-level renovation. Old rusted hinges, old wires that had been painted over, and lumpy wallpaper all contributed to the feeling that the place was a little run-down, which is not what I expected based on the photos.

Love it! I'll stay here anytime I visit Chicago. The location is so wonderful, in the heart of Gold Coast and surrounded by beautiful architecture, the lake, and high rises. The room was very minimalistic but cozy and everything I needed. The bar at The Ambassador is one of my favorites in Chicago. Overall, a great stay and I can't wait to return.

This was our second stay here. The public rooms are lovely. I especially enjoyed sitting be the fire listening to Christmas music. We appreciated the complimentary breakfast- excellent quality. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room, however, had some issues. The platform bed was not comfortable and completel too low to the ground for older guests bad knees. The bathroom sink did not drain at all. Carpet was dirty with multiple spots. We’ve the location- please update rooms!!

The room was amazing, I checked in at nearly midnight, I was wished a happy birthday and given several complimentary amenities. Unfortunately I couldn't use them as I was in severe pain after walking from the hotel that I had made reservations at 3days earlier and being rejected(because they didn't like my bank for the deposit,) The hotel collection Ambassador Gold Coast is on my list of places I will stay when I visit My City.

There WILL be a $125 upcharge to your room, so plan accordingly. (For that $125 fee, you’ll receive six bottles of water, two breakfast buffets, two drink tickets, and $10 in bar credits, most of which were not practical to use.) The extra fee is a shady practice. Just charge me what it’s worth, and go from there. Otherwise, I would’ve been very pleased with our stay. The first floor was well appointed and gorgeous. I could’ve hung here all evening except that we didn’t have a spare minute during this trip (so don’t charge me for amenities I’m not going to use.) The room was spacious. It was comfy and everything worked well. Truly it would’ve been a great experience – minus the huge, hidden fee. Also, you can park in a valeted garage on the BACK SIDE of the hotel for half the cost of valet and less than the self-park lot they will point you to catty-corner to the front door. There are several great restaurants very close. We were able to walk to Second City easily from there. It’s a charming neighborhood.
