Central Chicago 4 Stars Hotels

"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!!"

"For a downtown hostel, the experience was great. I stayed in a quad female room with no major complaints. The bathroom was an ensuite and fairly clean. The bed was quite comfortable with one pillow, one sheet, and one comforter provided. Staff were very pleasant throughout. The room didn’t have much of a view; it faced a parking lot with some constant background noise, but that’s fine if you’re just using this hostel as a place to sleep. A very small locker was provided for valuables (a bring-your-own-lock situation). The curtains on the bed don’t quite cover all the way, so there were little gaps in privacy here and there. On a particularly humid day, the AC didn’t kick on, so it became a bit stuffy in the room. At night, the lower floor becomes a popular cocktail bar, but impressively no noise reached my floor (4). Generally the building is older and needs some paint and repairs here and there, but it gets the job done. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and comfortable throughout. Would stay here again for the cost."

"great location "

"Was exactly as posted. Tye free bottled water was a nice touch. Much appreciated."

"Excellent staff. Free bottled water station, laundry, and clean. Parking is cheap daily offsite for the loop. The pub attached to the hotel is reasonably priced and the food was good. Overall, we were extremely happy with our stay."

"The room was way outdated, there were stains on the carpet everywhere, poor lighting, didn’t receive my 4/19 wake up call ,pillows on the bed felt like a handful of cotton balls put in a sock . Over all not a good experience "

"I would not reserve a room if you enjoy showering. The water was either ice cold or scolding hot. I could not let the water touch my body. I had to get a towel wet, allow it to cool and then clean my body. I notified the front desk and they said it is a known problem. Also, there was a lot of obvious dust in the ceiling and we found a spider on our curtains. For a positive, the bed was comfortable and the location of the hotel was perfect to walk to Michigan Ave."

"Very cool hotel. Helpful staff. Great location. "
