“Embassy Suites on the Magnificent Mile provides families and business travelers with a roomy experience, though I think it's showing its age. I appreciate the central location near Navy Pier and the Museum of Contemporary Art, plus the free breakfast and evening reception still hold appeal. While the heated indoor pool is a definite plus, I think the hotel needs to address the crowding and dated aspects some guests have mentioned.”
