• Great shuttle service.
• Not a grand hotel but very nice,a step above most.

“A good mixture of old
and new. There are not that many entertainment choices within walking distance but the shuttle makes up for that. Really nice not to have to worry about parking or having a couple drinks and driving”

• The atmosphere, very cool looking, also very friendly and helpful staff.
• I had 3 kids with me and we received a room with one queen bed. They had no cots either.

“I liked the fact that it was a smaller hotel, it's a little more personable. Nice atmosphere, and I liked the location area of the lounge. Very friendly staff, and was helpful too.”

• Attractive art decor lobby.
• Far below 4-star quality; very small bathroom; K-Mart linens - thin, ugly comforter, tear in sheets.

“This hotel is clean and relatively inexpensive, but don't go there expecting anything approaching luxury. They made an effort to restore it to its former glory, but they fell far short.”

• Comfortable atmosphere.
• Took a while to figure out that each room has a master electric switch for lights.

“Very clean and comfortable hotel. Every member of the hotel staff that we had contact with was friendly and helpful. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service that will drop off and pick up at local downtown attractions. This was a plus for our visit. Room service was prompt and very affordable.”

• The staff was very friendly, and very helpful.

“The hotel was clean and what we expected. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The area of the hotel may be a little better suited to business travelers and not as much for leisure travelers but they do operate a once an hour shuttle. I would stay there again.”

• Great accommodations.
• Far from downtown.

“This is a great hotel. The location is a little far from downtown but they have a fantastic shuttle which accommodates for this. Would definitely be happy if this is where we would be placed to stay again!”

• Extremely attentive, accommodating staff; renovated art deco decor is fabulous and spacious rooms.
• No shelf /wastebasket in bathroom; my bed was uncomfortable, but my daughter was comfortable.

“My daughter and I stayed at the Ambassador during a Marquette campus visit. I was wowed by the decor and our spacious room. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. The shuttle driver was available at a moment's notice; the desk staff was helpful with our numerous inquiries; our breakfast in the restaurant was tasty and healthy.”

• Front desk staff was very helpful.
• The cleaning staff were loud and not very friendly.

“Stayed in a King room which was very spacious and comfortable. The front desk staff had made an error and sent us to a room that was occupied but he was apologetic and assisted us with a new room. I also enjoyed to bar in the lower level.”

• Attractive, historical and friendly people.
• Thin walls, cramped bathroom, and recently painted closet.

“My hand came away from the closet with paint on. Luckily none touched the clothes I was going to put in. Adjacent to our room was some kind of business room and if I had wanted, I could have listened to each word. The bathroom door rubbed against the toilet as it opened and closed. Very annoying. But it was a lovely old hotel; everyone we dealt with in person was nice.”

• Whirlpool suite was nice.

• High quality and spacious room.
• Location was poor. Unsafe feeling neighborhood.

“Once inside, the hotel was quite good. Room was very clean and modern. Level of amenities was good. Double room was spacious. Lobby had some charm but exterior wasn't attractive at all.”

• Restaurant had a great brunch.
• False fire alarm/evacuation both nights we were there.

“Overall this is a nice place but not what I consider walking distance to downtown. Both nights we were there the fire alarm sounded (at 3:00am and 11:00pm) forcing evacuations into a cold night.”

• The shuttle service was excellent.

“Hotel is clean, rooms are nice and well appointed. The location is about a 20 minute walk from downtown. The shuttle service provided to make up for this more than offsets and the drivers go above and beyond the call of duty.”

• The hotel was clean.
• In bad part of town, shuttle began too late, room exceedingly small.

“Redone old hotel in bad part of town. Nice interior, kind employees. Too far from Midwest Center. Shuttle doesn't even begin until 7:30 AM too late for first conferences. Only ran on 1/2 hour so couldn't arrange for return at 10 PM and didn't want to wait 1/2 hour in dark at 10:30 PM for shuttle so had to take own car and parking was $10.00 per day.”
