We were welcomed home!

My wife and I stayed at the downtown Chicago Embassy Suites for 3 nights in September of 2011. I cannot wait to go back. We arrived at the hotel at 9:30 on Monday morning. Although check-in is not until 3:00 PM, we were told that we could have a room immediately! We inquired about its location and added that we would prefer a room in a quiet location on an upper floor. We were told that there would be a room available later on the eighth floor. The gentlemen at the desk took my cell phone number and said that he would call when the room was ready. We checked our bags with the bellman and headed out to the Art Institute. While eating lunch at the Art Institute the desk called to let us know that our room was ready. Everything about the room was perfect. Of course it was a suite so it was 2 rooms. Two rooms, non-smoking, King bed, quiet, vey clean, roomy! As I said before it was perfect! And this was before the complimentarty breakfast (made-to-order omelettes) each morning and the complimentary Manager's reception (wine, bloody marys, margaritas) each evening. The service that we received was first rate (even though we received an excelent rate from one of the discount websites). The doorman even welcomes you home each time you enter the hotel. The location is convenient to everything downtown. We walked to restaurants and the subway is a short 1 and a half block walk from the hotel. We walked to Navy Pier. Took subway and buses to the Museums. We both agreed that whenever we travel to Chicago again, we will stay at the Embassy Suites, downtown. Thank you, Embassy Suites, for making our Chicago getaway unforgetable!
