I think I am well and favorably known at the Ambassador East, but this need not apply when I arrive in wrinkled hunting clothes, unshaven and lightly crusted with the dirt of travel and bleary-eyed from driving most of the night.

The Ambassador East was sold in 2010, renovated and reopened as the Public Chicago Hotel.
