The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

8/10 Good
"Great location and there is parking close by in a garage for $40 per night. The hotel itself is nice but the room we stayed in had stained carpets and couch cushions. Assuming all rooms are alike, rooms need a deep clean and some updates. Overall, pretty solid stay if you’re on a budget but want to stay in a quiet and old-money neighborhood"
