  • EXCELLENT: Location, quality of room for the price I got, staff, breakfast and the fact that the manager served free drinks between 17.39 and 9.30.

“I would warmly recommend this hotel. Friendly staff, appreciative of your business, which I found to be a great way to show their interest in having you as guest, excellent location, excellent breakfast, excellent room! My room had a nice view toward the lake.”

  • Spacious room, nice view, delicious breakfast, close to everything.
  • Parking cost a lot, internet access cost extra.

“The Embassy Suites was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay on our recent vacation. It was so nice to be right downtown, within walking distance of shopping and many restaurants. Our room was very spacious and had a nice city view. The breakfast was simply amazing - a great way to start the day! We would definitely come here again and will recommend Embassy Suites to our friends.”

  • Location was great! Very clean and comfortable rooms.
  • Lobby was not on ground floor but not a big problem.

“The ONLY negative about this hotel is the open atrium concept tended to be a bit noisy during evening cocktail hour.”

  • The location of this hotel is very convenient. Our room had a fantastic panoramic view of Lake Michigan. The atrium was beautiful.
  • We felt that the parking garage rate was extremely high and its entrance was not well marked.

“Our stay at the hotel was such a pleasant surprise. The only negative about our room was that the bed was full size, not queen. However, the magnificent view of lake Michigan from our window - which we could look at from the bed - more than compensated. The food on the breakfast buffet was very good and there was a nice variety of items from which to choose. But, the scrambled eggs were powdered and tasted absolutely horrible. The buffet lines would move much quicker and more efficiently if service was from both sides.”

  • Rooms comfortable and clean.
  • All rooms opened up to main area, almost motel like.

“Nice rooms, indoor motel style was not nice. Free breakfast was nice but crazy crowded.”

  • My husband and 2 children, ages 7 & 10, enjoyed the big breakfast each morning and the glass elevators. The suite was clean and comfortable.
  • Visitors were not allowed to use the hotel luggage carts if they were self parking.

“Great location for family access to tourist sites and Miracle Mile shopping. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms large and comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. Very close to Navy Pier and Dick's Last Resort, 2 blocks away from bus routes and shopping, across the street from a grocery store.”

Cleanliness:[4] • Staff:[7] • Location:[9]

  • Beautiful view of harbor; location close to Navy Pier; within walking distance of Magnificent Mile; convenient layout in suite.
  • Cleanliness was below par (stained comforters, dirty coffee pot in room, ring of dirt around inner pool rim).

“Nice facility, good location, convenient room layout, but needs attention to cleanliness. The complimentary breakfast is very good in both taste and variety, but get there early for the tables fill quickly.”

  • Free Happy Hour, location, hotel room was spacious.
  • Too many kids in pool/hot tub, we were not able to use either. Loud kids in next room.

“Great location. Free evening happy hour was a nice perk. I would stay here again for those 2 reasons. However, this hotel is very family-friendly, which was very annoying since we were not traveling with kids. There were too many kids in pool/hot tub, even at 10:30pm and we couldn't even get in. Also, there were loud kids in the room next to us, and also rowdy kids running up and down hallways, etc. Fridge in room did not work (door was broken), and toilet flush handle was broken.”
