Beautiful location. Parking is an additional $75 per night (watch your bank app, I was charged an extra night). Then learned they use the public lot across the street and it's $56 per night if you self park. $125 deposit is not refunded for 3-5 days after check out. We will return since it's so close to family, but honestly, it was better with the previous owners. This was our 3rd time here.

Complete disaster from overcharged to rudely treated. Complete disaster. Do not stay here! Prepaid via Trivago but had no room at checkin. Hotel double charged us and added $125 charge for incidentals. Trivago made up for hotels negligence and refunded the room charge they collected. Despite clear documentation of no charges to room, hotel mgr repeatedly rudely refused to refund incidentals charge. Finally gave up, earning them this terrible review. And we were not the only guests treated this way. Heard tons of discontent at front desk during our stay. There are much better lodging options in the area. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one like the plague.

Threatened & Lied To Please know, I attempted to resolve my concerns via management@thechicagohotelcollection.com immediately upon returning home from my one-night stay at the Ambassador Gold Coast – Chicago; August 16, 2025. I am delayed in my TripAdvisor Review because their Regional Director of Operations & Distribution, Jill Morgenthaler ( jill@thechicagohotelcollection.com ), had responded to my complaint – apologizing for their employee's actions which she admitted had been captured on security footage. Ms. Morgenthaler claimed that the involved employee had been terminated as a result and she offered me a future stay in a Junior Suite as resolution. Fast forward to this coming weekend, October 24th, when I planned to fly in for that stay. I have email communications with Ms. Morgenthaler leading up to October 13th, 2025, in which she said my stay was available for this given weekend. So, I booked flights. She has since gone dark and ghosted me. No one from the Ambassador Gold Coast will respond to me and I have no reservation. I ended up booking at another hotel. You're right, I should have known. Ms. Morgenthaler is no different than the employee she purportedly terminated; rude, unprofessional and simply a liar. Her working for the Chicago Hotel Collection is all you need to know about the organization and their dedication to guest services – which is nonexistent. I have traveled the globe and NEVER, EVER, had a hotel experience like this. DO NOT STAY AT THE AMBASSADOR GOLD COAST. As for the original experience, their employee threatened to forcibly remove me from the hotel upon check in. Luckily, because I had no other reservation, the employee rightfully relented but purposefully made my remaining stay painfully uncomfortable. Again, I have emails to confirm Ms. Morgenthaler not only confirmed my abhorrent treatment but she apologized and then falsely claimed to resolve it with a future stay. Zero Stars. This place should be shut down.

Worst experience yet. Upon our arrival, we discovered that our room was not ready. When we were finally assigned a room, we were met with a musty odor and numerous cleanliness issues. After bringing these concerns to the attention of management, we were informed that all rooms were in a similar condition, and our request for a different room was denied. The manager offered us a $50.00 refund or the option to leave; however, we had already researched alternative accommodations and found none available. This experience has led us to conclude that this hotel is the dirtiest and most unprofessional establishment we have encountered, and we would not recommend it to others.
