“DOWNTOWN DELIGHT”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We stayed at the Ambassador Hotel the night of the Madonna concert. Since I live in KC, this was a treat. our suite was beyond belief.....modern furniture, great lighting, comfortable bed and bedding, wonderful amenities. The staff was excellent, especially Andrew, who was available for our every need and exceeding friendly and helpful. Kudos to the bar staff, who put up with a bunch of rowdy party people , who were still having fun after the concert. The hotel is a great addition to the Kansas City downtown scene. The location is ideal for the events at the Sprint Center and Power and Light district. I highly recommend this hotel!!!!

Room Tip: If you can, upgrade to a suite. You will be delightfully surprised at its elegance!

“Exceptional Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

I can't stop talking about how great this hotel was. I was there for one night on business. The basic King room was gorgeous and HUGE, everything is new, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed, giant shower, giant desk. My room service salad was surprisingly good. Lovely bar.

“Great stay-cation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We live in KC but needed a night away from our little one and were anxious to try the newest hotel in downtown. It was gorgeous inside and the service was excellent. Walking distance to anything in Power and Light and they have a car service that will take you anywhere else you'd like to go. The bed was very comfy and it was a wonderful getaway. Would recommend this to locals and visitors alike!

“Very comfortable bed. Light switches somewhat difficult to reach.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Beautiful room. Very comfortable king size bed with ample selection of pillows. Coffee maker, iron and ironing board in the room. The layout for all the light switches could be improved a bit, especially near the bed. The headrest is in the way when trying to reach the switch. This minor issue is well compensated by how comfortable the bed is. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Would definitely stay here again.
