The Ambassador was a wonderful place for us to stay while we were in town for a concert! The hotel is stunningly decorated throughout and is very clean. Our room was spacious and had everything we could need. We slept so well in our big, comfy bed! We also liked that the hotel is very quiet. We were not disturbed by noise at any point. The American Reserve restaurant is also a great spot for eating and relaxing. We will definitely be back!

  • Much older with poor service follow-through

    “This hotel is a tale of 2 buildings. All the pictures you see only show the newer south building. However, a lot of the non-suite rooms are in the much older, poorly maintained north building. Definitely not up to the standard expected of a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel. Service was also very lacking with them saying all the right things, but rarely following through.”

  • Busy area, choose valet

    “I wanted to visit Lonnie's Reno Club on a recommendation from Nick with PMC from the Hilton. I used valet and was helped by Kyle, the hotel is on a busy street and valet made it easier to get my car with all the traffic in the area.”

    “Everything from Kenneth who checked us in to Mona who was in charge of the catering our week there was nothing short of amazing. Don’t get me wrong the entire staff was great but these two were the shining stars of our experience at the Ambassador in Kansas City Missouri. Kenneth was extremely polite and well spoken and friendly as can be and Mona went above and beyond her catering to make sure we felt like family. I would definitely recommend a stay there. 10/10 with absolutely nothing left to be desired. Every single need was met and then some.”

  • Best hotel I've ever been to
