The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the location. The hotel lobby and bar was nice. The breakfast buffet was an average buffet, nothing fancy. Our room was on the small side and the furniture needs some upgrading. The room was clean and we would stay there again. Friendly staff. The person whom booked on Expedia in front of me had there room denied, due to overbooking. They did not offer them a room at another hotel. The staff told the person to contact Expedia. You may want to call the hotel a couple of days before to make sure your booking is accepted. My booking was luckily accepted. Tip for dog owners: if your dog is only urinates on grass, there are patches of grass a couple of blocks east on Lake Shore Drive."
