Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The classic The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast is an excellent hotel. Its super posh neighborhood in the Gold Coast makes it a terrific place to settle to see the best of Chicago. There is a parking lot across the street with an all in $58 a nite price tag. Or, if you'd rather be super posh, they have valet service. The room was clean and quiet, however I wasn't a fan of the extra firm mattress or the quartet of elongated puff pillows. Still, I would recommend the hotel based on its vicinity and rich history. It was also not expensive, but that fluctuates weekly.

Check in

Beautiful lobby and restaurant. Rooms are fairly spacious. The check in/check out process was long and needs work. The line was out of the door for check in with only one person working the majority of the time. Breakfast included was a nice perk and parking wasn’t too high.

The location was great, and I was super excited to stay at the Ambassador Chicago. Unfortunately, our stay was overshadowed by the ceiling in the bathroom leaking all weekend, the floor around the toilet was flooding, and the thermostat wouldn't work.

The carpet had multiple large stains it was very gross to look at. The shower was a handheld shower head. The sink was a flat top and anything you washed off just sat at the surface. It was really not what I expected for what I paid
