I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. First of all, thank you to the owners who restored this beautiful landmark. Original Art Deco pieces are everywhere with orginal marble flooring. It has timeless beauty. All of the staff were very polite and accommodating. They have a breakfast cafe that has delicious omelets and coffee. There's also a classy looking bar. It's slightly offset from downtown so they offer a free shuttle to anywhere in the downtown area. They will take you anywhere and pick you up! The rooms are large and the vibe here is just great!

This is an old hotel brought back to life. Very well done to stay in the era it was originally built. Not something you run across every day. Rooms were gorgeous. Very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. The hotel provides a bar / restaurant named Gin Rickey. It's their signature drink from the 20's...done very well. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Worth giving it a shot. Service was very professional and she answered our questions friendly and adequately.

From the very first interaction, the Ambassador Hotel made a great impression. The person who helped me over the phone was incredibly welcoming and genuinely helpful, setting the tone for the entire stay in the best way.
The location was perfect for our trip, especially since we were in twon for a concert at The Eagle's Ballroom (The Rave) across the street. It made getting to and from the venue easy and stress-free, which is always a huge plus.
The hotel itself has a really unique charm; stylish without feeling overdone and full of character that makes it stand out from more generic places, Overall, a great experience and I would absolutely stay again.

Very classy and with plenty of old world charm. Very clean hotel. Roberto at the front desk was kind, informative and helpful. He has excellent customer care values and practices. Because of him, we will be back. Miss T. was also terrifica and kind. To the owner - you have an incredible team of employees. Please thank them personally for their service to a stranger like me.

Wow what a place to stay!!! It was so old timey feel but with classic updates that made me feel like I was back in time when the world was expensive in places like this. The rooms are so huge I felt like I was in a suite! And the restaurant in the hotel was total class all the way! I love every bit of this place and staying here! I'd stay here over again.

I booked a room here because it was near the Baird Center (1.2 miles), was very affordable and had good reviews. Was blown away by the friendly staff and how clean the room / bathroom was. The 2 queen beds were very comfortable and the room was huge! It's also near the Eagles Ballroom (The rave) for those of you who like concerts. It has a parking ramp for an extra $20. We just parked temporarily in their side lot to unload our bags and moved the car to the parking ramp after checking in. Built in 1928 so it has Art Deco character and is very cool of you like unique historical places. There was a group of musicians staying there who were very fun to talk to. The bar had a nice crowd and heard they have good pizza.

We had such a nice stay. The staff was helpful and friendly. Dave our shuttle driver was a hoot and very knowledgeable about the city. I felt like I was on a mini tour. I gave 4 stars for location only due to the fact of being a bit far from downtown. The shuttle is very accommodating. It was nice not to have to navigate traffic and a new area. Our room was spacious and the bed was comfy. I look forward to my next stay at the Ambassador! Thank you.

We stayed at the Ambassador during a last minute trip to Milwaukee. Upon entering we were greeted by the shuttle staff, they were friendly and smiling. The lobby was stunning with its Art Deco decor and the staff member that checked us in was chipper and helpful. We were really impressed with how every staff member we came into contact with was friendly and attentive. From the shuttle driver, front desk staff, bartender and others. It’s something that really stood out for us! It really seems to be “Milwaukee’s friendliest hotel”! The single King room was priced great which a ton of space. Bathroom was huge! Room was clean and bed was wonderfully comfortable. Location is also great, short car ride to Potawatomi (we took advantage of the FREE shuttle from the hotel), Milwaukee Public Museum, restaurants and stores. It also right across the street from The Rave! We will definitely stay here again!
