The room was amazing, I checked in at nearly midnight, I was wished a happy birthday and given several complimentary amenities. Unfortunately I couldn't use them as I was in severe pain after walking from the hotel that I had made reservations at 3days earlier and being rejected(because they didn't like my bank for the deposit,) The hotel collection Ambassador Gold Coast is on my list of places I will stay when I visit My City.

There WILL be a $125 upcharge to your room, so plan accordingly. (For that $125 fee, you’ll receive six bottles of water, two breakfast buffets, two drink tickets, and $10 in bar credits, most of which were not practical to use.) The extra fee is a shady practice. Just charge me what it’s worth, and go from there. Otherwise, I would’ve been very pleased with our stay. The first floor was well appointed and gorgeous. I could’ve hung here all evening except that we didn’t have a spare minute during this trip (so don’t charge me for amenities I’m not going to use.) The room was spacious. It was comfy and everything worked well. Truly it would’ve been a great experience – minus the huge, hidden fee. Also, you can park in a valeted garage on the BACK SIDE of the hotel for half the cost of valet and less than the self-park lot they will point you to catty-corner to the front door. There are several great restaurants very close. We were able to walk to Second City easily from there. It’s a charming neighborhood.

We loved staying here. The breakfast and ambiance were wonderful. Our only complaint was that we were unable to speak to a real person earlier in the day of our checkin. It was voice mail hell. That was really frustrating.

The classic The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast is an excellent hotel. Its super posh neighborhood in the Gold Coast makes it a terrific place to settle to see the best of Chicago. There is a parking lot across the street with an all in $58 a nite price tag. Or, if you'd rather be super posh, they have valet service. The room was clean and quiet, however I wasn't a fan of the extra firm mattress or the quartet of elongated puff pillows. Still, I would recommend the hotel based on its vicinity and rich history. It was also not expensive, but that fluctuates weekly.

Housekeeping short sheeted the bed. After a long exhausting trip, I wanted to slip into clean comfortable sheets, only to find my feet on a mattress pad. The bottom sheet was short from the edge of the bed causing my feet to get tangled in a cluster. It was late. The lounge lobby had empty bar glasses/napkins scattered everywhere. If they aren't concerned about the after rave party....looking like a hung over new years eve day after disaster... What makes you think a short sheet on a bed is going to be corrected??
