The Amber Inn

"Pearl's restaurant is great. Love the soul food buffet"

"It's a decent enuff place to stop off for a quickie, rest after a long time on the road or ur pockets are low on cash. Food options aren't overly abundant in the area but Pearl's place is a part of the motel, and has good soul food."

"If you value your life or vehicle do not stay here! I've been staying here for years due to convenience. However, staying at the Amber Inn last night will be my last stay. Pearls place is a wonderful establishment with amazing food & customer service. My car was completely side swiped and i didn't get any sleep due to the ongoing party in the parking lot. When i woke up to find my car damaged i was instructed to call the police and no manager was on site to handle my discrepancy. And conveniently enough there cameras don't work and apparently neither does security. So it cost $70 to stay $40 to eat at pearls and $500 to fix my car. Worst experience EVER! This is a place of crime & the owner obviously tends to the criminals. Sad!!!"

"While not in the flashiest part of Chicago, this hotel is located conveniently close to transit, which allows for a quick trip into the city, or even to any conferences at McCormick Place (which was why I was in town). Though there are a few colourful guests and others around the place, none were really threatening and the staff was extremely pleasant. The room I had was very large and was nice enough for what I needed. There was outside noise a bit, but the air conditioner (which was something other hotels didn't have) helped keep me cool and drown out the occasional sounds. All in all, I'm happy with my stay here."

"We just stayed at this hotel over the weekend. We were there for a national convention that is held in Chicago. Over all the stay was okay, I would not recommend it to anyone, unless the establishment did a complete upgrade to the facility. The rooms are old, and very dirty, no ironing board, no hangers and no mirror in the bathroom. Did not have the room cleaned while there, not sure if it was because I requested one day not to be cleaned. People that was with us experienced bed bug issue in their room. It is sad that the owners can own such a great hotel like South Loop and make it great, but show very little regard for this hotel. Probably will not stay here again in the future. They definitely need to work on this location."
