"You get what you pay for. Roaches in the stairway and a serve yourself amenity closet. Good location."

"The room was newly renovated and lovely! The view of the lake is a million dollar view at all times of the day! Spectacular sun rises and blue as far as you can see. The hotel is being refurbished and I trust it will be lovely when it’s done. Currently it was rundown and badly needed cleaning and maintenance. The climate control didn’t work in the room so we opened the windows to cool it off in the evening. The bar food and drinks were good and the staff was friendly. "

"Clean room, staff very friendly. Enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet."

"Our family of 4 checked in on Thursday and checked out on Sunday. We have stayed at several hotels in Chicago, but moved the Embassy Suites. The living room has a nice pullout couch that was surprisingly comfortable. The mini fridge was nice to keep some leftovers. We didn't use the microwave, but it was nice to have. The kids loved playing at the pool and really just loved playing in the room, too. We loved the separate living room area, so the kids had their own room at night. The free breakfast was by far the best free breakfast any hotel has ever offered that we've visited. It's so worth it, since it has something for everyone. The hot food consisted of eggs, breakfast potatoes/hash browns, sausage, and pancakes/waffles/French toast on rotation. There is also a chef to cook eggs/omelet to your liking. There's cereal, bagels, muffins, fruit, yogurt, and probably more that I missed. The staff at the hotel were all extremely nice and helpful. The location is in a prime location near Michigan Ave and the L. We also walked to Shedd Aquarium from the hotel. It's a trek, but so nice to walk by the lake. The kids both want to stay at the Embassy Suites the next time we stay in Chicago, so it got a 5 star rating in their eyes, too! Fabulous stay!!"

"I came with my family of 4 (husband + 11y/o + 14y/o) for a long weekend of sight seeing in Chicago. The hotel is in a fantastic location. It is a short walk to the river for the architecture tours, Big Bus tour stop, Lou Malnati's, and so much more. We loved learning about the history of the hotel. My kids got a kick that the hotel was mentioned on the architecture tour. The beds were truly doubles which makes it a little uncomfortable for our family of 4. The rooms are on the small side, but that is not unusual for an older building. The room was clean and decently appointed. Although there was not a free breakfast like so many hotels offer, there was a Starbucks that you can get to through the hotel lobby. The highlight of our stay was the pool. It is beautiful and so different than anything we'd seen before. My son attended the swimming and movie nights on both Friday and Saturday nights during our stay. The staff offers popcorn and lemonade while the guests can swim and watch a movie on a huge movie screen. It was a novel experience that my kids could brag to their friends about. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends who are heading to Chicago to sight see, but with the caveat that if they prioritize space and comfort, this might not be the right choice for them.
