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.

In general the visit was good. It was only let down by the air conditioning, which was very noisy all night. No matter what we tried we couldn’t get it to stop. Which after a long day and flight to the states. Was the last thing we needed, something that hindered rest.

Great location. Able to walk to stores, restaurants, the beach and transportation. Nice view from room and Rooftop. Breakfast was good with lots of options. And it was nice to have free drink vouchers. Bed was comfortable. Hotel seemed clean. Friendly staff. Con: Room was freezing and unable to turn of AC. When called operator was told no extra blankets. But someone came up to turn of AC and raise heat. No concierge. All in all would definitely go back and stay.
