"The Ambassador Gold Coast was our first hotel stay as we embarked on an AmTrak Rail Pass trek across the country and back, and they set the bar very high! The staff was very helpful, the room was large with a big window, very clean, great bed, and nice bathroom. The buffet breakfast (included) was the BEST of the entire month-long trip! Everything imaginable, in a lovely comfortable dining room. Also, we were welcomed with free drink tickets at the bar, and an h'or d'oeuvre ticket that we didn't have time to use! We loved the Gold Coast neighborhood, felt very safe there, and this hotel remained an absolute favorite for the remainder of our trip. Thanks for getting us off to a great start on the trip of a lifetime! We hope to stay there again, and will recommend it to anyone traveling to Chicago!"
