You can't beat the location of this hotel; it’s perfect for walking to everything Downtown. The staff was super nice, too. The breakfast could have been a little more complete for an Embassy, but everything else made up for it. The rooms were very clean and really spacious. Would stay here again!

The room was clean and large. We liked that it had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker and had a table and coach area separate from the bedroom section. The complimentary breakfast was really good with an option to create your own omlete. The location was just by the magnificent mile and a block away from the red line. As with any hotel in the big city parking wasn’t free but a closed parking lot was nearby. The closed pool was an extra addition, which my son enjoyed.

It was a nice room close to Navy Pier and several good restaurants and shopping. Parking is $60+ per night, so that was pricey.

Breakfast was great and the room layout is perfect for a family with kids. The sofa bed was broken from the first room we had, but the front desk was able to exchange the room next door for us, so it was nice. Overall, we had a great experience.
