Recent Ambassador East Hotel Review: "Stayed here Oct 9-11 (got a great preview rate!) missed their grand opening party (lots of media attention) after checking out. The interior decor is an elegant classical look and feel. This was my first time in Chicago and this hotel made me feel like a I was a local. Less than a 7-10 min walk to Rush st. good eats and all the shopping you can handle. The  room was a bit small but they managed to make it seem bigger with the modern decor, furnishings...all simply elegant. Free WiFi was a great plus. The fitness center was surprisingly nice with new equipment incl a barrage of cardio machines. The service was outstanding: the concierge managed to squeeze in my party of 3 in the booked up Pumproom for dinner. She also booked me a last minute airport transfer ensuring me a ride in time for my flight. Overall, this is in my top 5 hotel stays and #1 in the "boutique" category. I will always stay here when visiting Chicago! Tip: If you need a caffeine rush, try their drop coffee in the coffee bar/lounge. Grab your coffee, pop a squat in the comfy spacious lounge, and enjoy free refills while you read or surf to free WiFi."
