Good Hotel!
I was at the Amalfi for 3 nights. I was lucky that the tips i read here were correct. The hotel is on a good location, close to the Michigan Ave. Around the corner there are lot of shops, restaurants, coffees. 
The reception of the hotel works quite quick, dont know why, but also the check out was completely uncomplicated. 
The room had a good size, with a TV and DVD player, Iphone dock station... cosmetics from AVENA, bathrope, lot of towels, etc. Everything is very clean
The best was the happy hour: everyday at 6.00 pm! This is only for hotel guests. I read some comments that the food is not good, but this is not the sense of this. I mean, there are snacks: like cheese, olives, salami.. I mean, just for the drinks. The drinks were free. The atmosphere was really nice. 
And: everymorning there is a breakfast buffett on each floor which contains: coffee, milk, juices, bread, fruits, etc. 
I was really surprise about in in an american hotel. 
Oh, the WIFI is also free. And the Fitness Center is not huge but has enough for training
I am sure that whenever I am coming next time to Chicago I will stay here.
