This is an old building that has been refurbished over 10 years ago. They kept some of the older features (doors/walls), but upgraded bathrooms and the interior of rooms. The bedding is very comfortable and finally I found a place that didn't simply have a sheet and heavy comforter but a light blanked that suited me well. The room was... More

I would strongly advice anyone to stay here. The shuttle driver Sam was marvelous and extremely knowledgable. The hotel was extremely luxurious and nice. The service was top notch. The only complaint I would have is the location is in not the best part of town, but is convienetly near downtown. More

I have stayed at the Ambassador twice for business. My first stay was quite nice and the location was perfect for what I had to do while in the area. My last stay which was a couple of days ago was a bit questionable. Unfortunately I had the experience of the stained sheets as well as a strand of hair... More

My trip to WI recently was much better than expected thanks to the ambassador hotel and especially to Sam an old gentleman who drove the complimentary shuttle that the ambassador offers to major attractions around town. First of all the free shuttle is amazing and made us able to get to and from places without renting a car or walking.... More

I know Milwaukee well, and I know getting into it where this hotel is - and frankly it is a stretch to call it "downtown". You don't want to walk from this hotel ANYWHERE at night. It's west of Marquette - and dicey at night. It's a nice hotel with decent beds and a quality room. I like hotels with... More

My husband and I stayed here on a weekend visit to Milwaukee. Our room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff was professional and friendly. There were no unexpected charges - internet and parking were free. The location is within walking distance of the metropolitan museum and there is a hotel shuttle service to downtown and other attractions. We... More

The Ambassador Hotel is great historic hotel in Milwaukee. We got a great rate through Hotwire as it (and probably Priceline) show it as a downtown hotel. It is actually about two miles west of the main downtown area but that is not problem as long you as have a car. Parking was free and seemed secure. The property is... More

I stayed one night at this hotel on Jan 16th. It was published on Expedia as one of their "unpublished rates". It was rated as a 4-star hotel, so I accepted the rate in exchange for not knowing which hotel I would be placed in. $75 for a Monday evening (includes taxes) was not bad. So, couldn't really read reviews... More

Our apologies for the malfunctioning lock on your room. Occasionally, electronic locks require re-programming and are handled immediately upon them being brought to our attention. We take pride in having... More

My husband and I stayed at the Ambassador Hotel last night and really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful, old hotel and the location was perfect for a quick trip to the Potawatomi Casino. Our room was beautiful an had one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The value for their Pay and Play package was excellent and... More
