The hotel was very nice and the staff friendly & efficient. Parked in the garage next door for $72 which is a little steep but worth the convenience. Amtrak or Megabus would have worked well as the hotel was close enough to Union station. Nicely located 4 blocks west of Navy Pier. Easy to walk to all of the attractions... More

this hotel is wonderfully located in walking distance to milennium park, navy pier, the art institute, the miracle mile and a myriad of restaurants Accommodations are quite nice and the breakfast and managers reception are a huge plus. Based on the nightly rate of other hotels in the area, this was a good bang for the buck.

Very nice, typical of an Embassy Suites Hotel, except for the lobby. the first floor is very small to provide for some valet parking capability, so guests must take the elevator to the second floor to get to the main Lobby. Other than that it has the features you expect from an Embassy suites hotel, managers reception at night, breakfast... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Embassey Suites Lakeshore while we were in Chicago on vacation. The staff did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The manager's reception and breakfast were great!

We stayed here for 5 nights for a conference. We stayed in a two double bed suite. Room was clean but very dated. Housekeeper did not restock tea/coffee unless asked. Staff members were nice and polite. The breakfast was very copious and with lots of options. Our main complaint is the thin walls. We could hear every word the neighbors... More

This hotel's design is conducive to guest congregating in the halls and yelling down to the courtyard/bar area. This was disruptive all three nights of our stay and the front desk seemed unwilling or unable to stop this. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this hotel for families or those seeking a quiet stay.

My wife and I stayed here for four nights on our first trip to Chicago. Our stay included a weekend. The location is great, an easy walk to the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier and the river, and also walkable to Millennium Park and the Loop. (If you want to be really close to theatres, Grant Park, etc., you might want... More

Just recently stayed here for our first trip to Chicago, the rooms were very clean and we had a wonderful view of lake michigan! The happy hour and breakfast were great as well. The only part that took away from it was the fact that the bar area gets a little loud at night, but not bad with the door... More

Valet was 50+ dollars not including tip. I opted to self park & found myself wondering if the extra $20+ dollars would be worth the valet...The limited parking availability for the hotel added much frustration prior to check in. It was an awful experience that made me question booking with the hotel or wanting to use it again. It seemed... More

This is the 3rd time at this hotel, and as the last two times, a very good experience. Our family of 4 stayed here this past April 9-13, got an excellent rate of $126 per night. We arrived at 11:30am were able to check into our room. The room is typical of an Embassy suite. This is hotel still feels... More
