    • I stayed int the Ambassador East. A beautiful hotel with extremely kind people working there. I was snowed in and they were great about us extending as as accommodating as possible. Also, when we were taking a shuttle to the airport, we were mistakingly put on the Hotel Van instead of the airport shuttle- same price, but when we went to pay with our debit card, and found that the van guy couldn't take it, he payed for most of our $40.00 trip, himself because we didn't have the cash! My fiance offered to leave me as collateral while he ran inside the airport to an ATM, but the guy told us it wasn't necessary and wished us a nice flight.

    Great historic restaurant downstairs!

    • Historic property with recent renovations. Not much for views, but the service was great.

    Be sure to stop by the "Pump Room" restaurant and bar.

    Priceline sent me up to the Gold Coast on a recent visit to Chi-town at a reasonable rate of $70 a night. Having usually spent my Chicago weekends at accomodations along Wacker Drive or N. Michigan Ave., I didn't know what to expect at this "boutique" hotel. But I was pleased at this older, yet well-maintained property. Rooms have comfortable real furniture and the public lobby is a bit like a private club. The Ambassador East lacks many of the features standard at larger, more business-oriented facilities: there is no gift shop, no business center, no pool or exercise room, for example. And the location may be off-putting to some: it's in a residential neighborhood a few blocks north of the standard visitor attractions like the John Hancock, the Bloomingdales mall, or Oak Street. But the distances are not really that significant - it's only a ten minute walk from the Ambassador to Rush Street. I like the fact that it's a little quieter here than at most Chicago hotels.

    I overheard a conversation in the bar that the hotel has recently been sold to out-of-town investors, and that significant changes will be made over the next year. However, the hotel will remain open throughout its conversion. I hope that they don't do anything to change the basic character of the Ambassador - an upscale boutique hotel that is a little more European than most places in Chicago.

    The Pump Room Bar is a classic.

    We arrived early and landed a room about 10 floors up on the corner.. One window faced Lake Michigan the other faced the Hancock Building,, Couldn't ask for anything more.. It was priced very reasonable, The concierge guided us to the subway.. the staff was helpful and friendly..I have no idea where they parked my car...but they did for a nominal fee but kept it safe and drove it to me everytime I wanted it..This is located in a very safe part of Chicago..A short Walking distance to Lake Michigan, Gino's Pizza, Hancock Building and many more sights.. I really don't see how you could get a better deal ..

    Watch out for the cabbies.. They are very aggressive.. One came very close to running over my son in front of the hotel .(perhaps while he took this picture).. He was looking up and not paying attention.. Fortunately I grabbed him and got him out of the way.. the cabbie just acted like nothing unusual just happen..I guess for him he is use to almost running over kids.. For me I quickly realized that this is Chicago and everybody is in an extreme hurry... I don't know why .,..For some reason I felt like Chicago even has more bustle than NYC...
