Perhaps I am just "cheap", but really this place was nothing special.
The room was clean, but certainly not without flaws. There was rust around the caulk in the shower and some dirt spots on the rug. Overall the room was fairly small and the decor wasn't all that appealing. Kind of dated, actually. Finally, the television ...

Worst Stay Ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/30/09
We were forced to pay $250 to park our RV after we were told over the phone that they would take care of parking. Then on the second day we got locked out of our rooms (where are personal belongings were). We used priceline to book the hotel and it felt like because we were prepaid the hotel staff was very rude to us and not accomodating. We will never be back
When stepping out of the shower and taking a towel off the towel bar, unfolded the towel to discover that it was BLOODY! Presented it to the front desk who assured me that management would get back to me. Two days later (no surprise) management had not called so I called them. They offered to credit my bill for a glass of wine that I had in the ...

Worth the bus ride

Took my grandkids for a week, the hotel was more than I could have hoped for. The service was wonderful. Room was so big when compared to other hotels.
I would have liked to have a pop machine on the floor for late nites and picky children who did not like what was in mini fridge. Room service for one pop would have been too expensive.
I travel a lot, and often stay in Hyatts, Sofitels, and others along the same line. Though many of the reviews many not convey my thoughts, the service here at the Ambassador East is phenomenal, as is the room. A comfortable bed, clean bathroom with marble and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries, a HUGE bedroom, coffee maker (which is usually ...
As a seasoned Chicago traveler this hotel has been bumped to my favorite in the area. If you are accustomed to staying in brand spanking new hotels with little personality steer clear. But if you are looking for history and an eclectic atmosphere you will love it. I was nervous about our choice after reading some of the reviews. But realize the ...

worst hotel i ever stayed in
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/11/07
With the exception of the staff and location which are both great this hotel is absolutely terrible. I've seen better doss houses. Unless you're deaf and blind don't come here. The worst thing is the noise from other rooms. It's like the people are in your room 2 inches away from you. I hate it.

Yuck
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/10/07
The lobby and restaurant of the Ambassador East are lovely... the guest rooms are not. We moved from one room with badly stained carpet and linens past their prime to another room that was no better appointed. Very dissapointed... in fact we paid more to Priceline to be moved to a different hotel.

Very pleased!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/02/07
My wife and I were very impressed with this hotel. The staff was attentive and the maids were like ninjas. We never even saw them! We'd leave for an hour or so and return to a fresh room! Very quiet, stately neighborhood. No issues other than parking, but there aren't too many ways around that. Our car was always brought around very ...
My family loved this hotel. Its a quick walk to North Ave beach, which in July is great! You are close to Lincoln park, the lake, michigan ave and Rush St. I think it was great for families because there is a great little playground just down the street, the staff at the hotel treated the kids like their own. We had paid for a basic room and ...
