The property is fairly close to everything so it is convenient location. Property is safe however the facilities needs improvement, the kitchen in the a two bedroom suit lack utensils, plates. The sofabed was in poor condition for someone to sleep. The property needs TLC and maintenance.

We had to beg for towels and bedding. Property seems to be lacking basics. Room was typical for an older place. Room was clean, just dated. And we expected that. Biggest problem was towels and bedding. Very close to beach and boardwalk and that was what we cared the most about. Parking was easy, only one car allowed. Bathroom window is in shower without a curtain and looks directly into the property next door. Two teenage girls hated that,put a towel over the window. Spot was perfect if you want to be close to the action. Nice porch too.

Serious language barrier with all of the workers. Room wasn’t cleaned the entire 3 days-no towels replenished or trash emptied. Foul smell, thin wall, floors were uneven, hole in comforter, no lightbulbs, broken dresser. Just bad.

Meh...
The room was mediocre at best. Crayon scribbled on the wall in one corner, looked like someone tried to punch a hole in the bathroom door but partially failed, shower head leaked, shower water pressure was non existent along with water temperature control. I had to go track down towels and take care of my own trash... not sure where house keeping was but it wasnt our room. Asked aboit a few basic otems and was tokd to walk a block away to the Tidelands and they could help. The room was not good.

Zero
the photos that are displayed on hotels.com are not this photos of the ambassador inn they are actually photos of their sister hotel tidalwaves. the apartment was to have two bedrooms both with double beds, but only had a double bed in each room. When you pull the sleeper couch out there were dirty sheets. There was mold in the shower and The room smelled like mildew. Went down to the front desk to complain about the bedrooms and the website not fitting up with the description, the young man at the desk informed us we were the 2nd people that day that he dealt with, with the same issues. He made a phone call, spoke in spanish to whomever he was speaking to, he hung the phone up and just looked at us. We asked what was going on and he said there was nothing they could do for us, they could move us up to the sister hotel, but we would have to pay the difference to fix the sleeping situation. Worst customer service ever. If I could give this place a zero, We most definitely would.

Short little family trip
Service was wonderful! We had to ask for a few items and they not only had them, they were quick on getting them to us. The room is older, but the beds were comfortable if you like firm mattresses (my husband was happy). According to the kids, the pull out mattress was a bit blah, but it is a pull out mattress. My biggest issue was the bathroom. There were no places to put toothbrushes and the like or hang towels (other than the shower curtain pole). The sink looked like it was going to all off at any moment (the soap had to be put between the faucet and wall or it would just fall into the sink). Other than that, though, the room was great for our stay.

There was a slug on the bathroom mirror. The room smelt like a drying up swamp. The swimming pools are located at that property - you have to go to another building. The only positive about this place is that they moved me to another location - an entire different hotel. DO NOT stay here. GROSS!!!

A terrible place to stay!!
This was the worst motel/hotel I’ve ever stayed in. They never communicated when the room was ready. When I finally got to the room it was very dirty. The bathroom was never cleaned. There was hair stuck to the shower wall. They only gave us 2 towels for 4 people and there was no hair dryer. I walked back down to the front desk (Which was 3 floors down and they have no elevator). I explained the issues and she assured me they would fix the issues. We went out for the rest of evening and when we came back the gave us the towels and the hair dryer but never cleaned the bathroom. I even found trash under the bed. I would never return or recommend this place to anyone.

We were provided a toaster in our apartment that didn’t work. The apartment we stayed in could definitely use some cosmetic touch up’s and the mold on the ceiling in the front bedroom and wall in the bathroom should be repaired as well. Other than that, the stay wasn’t bad at all. Affordable, close to the beach and boardwalk, clean for the most part and quiet.

You get what you pay for. Just for any one's sake, there is no elevator at the Ambassador Inn so ask for 1st floor if you can't do stairs. But for my sake I'm not really complaining. I paid $87 a night and comfortable bed and shower.

So, so overall
There is no elevator access to the 2nd or 3rd floors. We had to carry our luggage up 2 long flights of stairs. There was only 1 available electric plug in the room. Our fridge & microwave didn't work until the fixed the electrical problem. No ice machines available on the property

We get to the room and there is a unlit cigarette behind the bed and a blood-stained rag in the bed! The bed was too soft at one end and hard on the other. It is like the bed had to be flipped but we did not flip it. The bathroom is severely tiny and the sink is in the room and not in the bathroom. There is only 1 electrical outlet in the room and no hair dryer. The hotel has 2 pools but they are diagonally across the street and you need to go into the hotel where the pool is to let them know you are staying at the Ambassador Inn in order to use the pools. The pools are small. There are no elevators! The only good thing about this place is the staff is friendly and helpful.
