I'm looking for some options for a family of five - 2 adults and 3 children. Any ideas for reasonably priced suite hotel with free breakfast in the city?

I'm having a hard time tracking down hotels that will allow 5 in a room.

Thanks!

Prices vary widely in Chicago, and I don't know if any of these hotels offer free breakfast (but there are plenty of great, affordable breakfast places in Chicago), but here are some to get you started:

Comfort Inn & Suites
Doubletree Guest Suites
Embassy Suites Downtown
Embassy Suites Downtown Lakefront
Fairfield Inn & Suites
Hampton Inn & Suites
Hilton Garden Inn (not sure about suites)
Homewood Suites
Lenox Suites (older property, not great reviews lately)
Omni Chicago Hotel (not Ambassador East, and generally not cheap)
Radisson Hotel & Suites
Residence Inn

Corner Bakeries abound for very affordable and quick breakfasts, plus there are plenty of other local options. So, if you find a great price on a hotel, it might be worth forgoing the included breakfast.

The first weekend in June we stayed at the Residence Inn right by the Drake and Knickerbocker Hotels. I think that is a great location---walked the beach path in the morning.

The rooms appeared to be recently refurbished; the kitchen had new appliances; it was spotlessly clean. We only paid $113 for the 3 of us. AAA discount.

One of the nicest breakfast buffets we have ever had--waffles, scrambled eggs, muffins, fruit, yogurt etc.

Embassy Suites has a very nice complimentary breakfast with cooked to order eggs, waffles etc.

Thank you all for the suggestions!

I definitelly recommend Homewood Suites. They serve a breakfast bound to please your family and Monday-Thursday they dish up supper (hot dogs, mac and cheese--stuff like that). They have the right set up to serve your family. Rooms have a kitchen, and there is a great supermarket a block away. The location is great for sightseeing too. (We stayed there last summer.)

Our family of 5 stayed at the Hampton Suites, just a couple of blocks off of Michican Avenue. It is quite nice - decorated in sort of a Frank Lloyd Wright/Prairie style. Our suite had tow double beds, then a full sized sofa bed in the living room. It also has a "real" kitchen with full sized fridge, and a small stove complete with oven! When I priced it (a couple of years ago) Hampton Suites was about half the price of the nearby Embassy Suites. The breakfast is decent, but nothing cooked to order.

Homewood is the best and even when you don't go down for breakfast, on some of the floors the have coffee,orange juice, water & fruit. It is really conv. to everything. Enjoy.
