We made use of the complimentary shuttle service and it was so convenient and the drivers were all so knowledgeable and friendly. What a great relief to park our car - for FREE - at the hotel and be done with the driving! Our room was spacious and neat and clean and more than welcoming. A teen daughter who wanted... More

We discovered the Ambassador six years ago when our daughter entered Marquette University. We have continuously stayed at the Ambassador mainly for two reasons: location to Marquette and the excellent dining. The Hotel is pretty cool as well. With graduation, we will continue to stay at the Ambassador- we have fell in love with Milwaukee. On a side note, I... More

We frequently travel to Milwaukee for overnight getaways. We've stayed at a variety of hotels and this was our first time at the Ambassador. We were able to get a very good rate of about $86 through Priceline. First, the hotel is art deco style and the lobby is stunningly beautiful. All the designs and details will capture your eyes....

Decided to give Ambassador a try the night of April 28th when they offered a Groupon deal with breakfast and wine at arrival. I usually stay in the heart of the city but had a show at Eagles Ballroom, right across the street from Ambassador. What a great place. Beautiful old world charm. The openness of the lobby, restaurant and... More

We stayed the 9th and 10th of May. Friendly and helpful staff. The room was outstanding and everything in this newly redone Art Deco Hotel was well done. The shuttle service to all of the tourist sites and restaurants is easy to uses and very helpful in selecting good restaurants and sites to see in Milwaukee.

The hotel is conveniently located on Wisconsin street, not far from the heart of the city but just far enough to have some peace and quiet. The hotel has this almost mid-20th century aura about it with a beautiful lobby, elevators with decorated doors and jazz music playing both in- and outside. If the intent was to create something that... More

The Ambassador Hotel in Milwaukee is an ideal spot for a stay in the City of Festivals. The architecture of the hotel is impressive and stunning. The warm lighting from beautiful chandeliers, really set the hotel up to a positive beginning. The classy entranceway is only enhanced by professional and courteous staff. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to answer questions... More

This is a beautiful hotel...art deco with a great old fashion elevator that you have to close the door to before you can advance to your flor. Nice lounge. Nice restaurant...good food...a bit pricey. Free shuttle service to any place in Marquette University and the 3rd Ward.

My husband and I just spent the past weekend at this hotel. It is a very clean, art deco, older hotel, in excellent condition. We had the Master Delux room and it was HUGE. I did check out Trip Advisor ;) first, and followed previous recommendations! I called to request a corner room, since it was mentioned that these were... More

First of all, the best part of this stay was the free shuttle! We parked our car and didn't use it for three days. We went to the Third Ward for a night of electric blues at the Milwaukee Ale House, a day trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum and another night trip to a local coffee house to hear... More
