During our housewares shows at McCormick, I flew in from London, England. Just minutes away, could go back and forth if needed. I found out I was not far from downtown Chicago; we also had a seminar scheduled to discuss upcoming events. It was also walking distance to the beach area. Excellent service. Clean rooms. Polite staff. More

I enjoyed my stay at the Amber. the reason for such a high score is this... They are a "CLASS ACT". They have clean rooms, excellent service from employees. I have stayed at the other hotels in the area, in the same price range, MY MISTAKE. When I went to the one on 80th & Stony Island and the one... More

I would write a longer review but the previous comprehensive review by Everyguy is pretty much what I would have said too. This really is a 1 1/2 to 2 star motel - but if you are driving into town and wanting to take the CTA the free parking is good. You can only book this hotel on the internet... More

My son and I traveled to Chicago for a tour and acceptance interview at a local university. As always, we were on an extremely limited budget, and were on the lookout for inexpensive hotels, knowing that, as always, there would be a trade off between price and quality. With that in mind, the Amber Inn was pretty much what we... More

We rented two rooms because we came up for my husband's graduation for one night and was very disappointed in the rooms. By looking at the website pictures we were expecting decent clean rooms and to our surprise OMG, they were not very clean, one room the chairs had big tears in them, lamps shades were crushed and falling off....

I stayed at Amber Inn this summer with my husband, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law. When I made a few phone calls inquiring about rooms and eventually making a reservation, the staff was helpful, but I couldn't get all the information from just one person. I believe I have it figured out now though: they have two different kinds of rooms: hotel... More

At first I was skeptical! This hotel is in a sketchy neighborhood but it is on the corner, gated and the hotel owns the restaurants right next door, there is security, and by day 3 I felt like VIP because of the hotel Manager (Robin). She made up for any worries I had. We stayed 3 nights and we were... More

My friends and I were coming here for a convention. Because we are all students, our budget was limited and we couldn't afford the $400/night rooms that other attendees were staying at. It took me awhile to did a place that was in our price range, close to a bus line that went to the convention center, and that had... More
