Good value for money”
Unexpected one night trip, trying to keep expenses low. This hotel is a very good choice for the basics and suspect if you're bringing the kids an excellent choice as they have pool and other water features. On the down side, room was small, no view, and we had trouble w/ the internet which we did not bother to check on. On the plus side - room was clean, staff friendly and helpful, nice toiletries, great mattress, and there was no disturbing noise and we were near the elevator. I had a good night's sleep which I often have difficulty with the first night. We did not take advantage of restaurant but that's another nice thing about the place. I would have preferred to stay in downtown Kingston, but for our trip, this place met the need and we were very pleased.

Travel Made Easy”
My husband and I booked this hotel for Homecoming weekend because everything downtown was either too much, or completely booked. I've stayed at the Ambassador in the past, and I've always liked the amenities that they can provide. It was great to have the restaurant, pool and bar on site, since we had decided to only use Uber when in the city. The only thing is, booking the hotel for Homecoming weekend meant that the value for the cost just simply was not there. It's a nice hotel, with great staff, but it's certainly not a $300/night room. I know it's a busy weekend, and that's why we chose to book it anyway, but the rooms definitely are not worth that. If you're travelling for a regular weekend, and are paying the normal rates, the value will probably be much better.

Generally quite pleased”
I stayed at the Ambassador with my daughter last weekend and had a lovely time. I generally had a great time but thought the place looked tired and older, the pool had no working whirlpools, the heating on the slide pool wasn't working, the stairs up the pool slide looked yucky, the tub in my room could use fresh caulking, a light wasn't working in our room (but was quickly fixed), just in general I guess I expected more for my money but we would still return again if we needed to. The staff were very friendly.

Familiar hotel”
The hotel is nice. You must drive to get anywhere in Kingston. We attended for New Years Eve. We were all happy with the hotel, it was the entertainment (band) that was very disappointing.

Mac and Cheese is the Best”
Had a pleasure stay in the hotel. The complimentary shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion are all so good. Regular size blow dryer. Nice and comfy bed. Adequate lights. Bacon Mac and Cheese is the best M&C I've had by far! Please don't change the recipe, people will be coming back for that. Your gravy on your poutine is also good!!!!!!

Room was clean. Restaurant food was mediocre pancakes were hard Mac and cheese tasted funny”
Kids really liked the slide and pool and work out room however there aren’t enough treadmills for guests. There is only 2 for all their guests and you are waiting around a lot. Beds were comfortable We had adjoining rooms. One room had a microwave and the other one didn’t. Room was cleaned each day. It was quiet and peaceful. It is about a 10 minute drive to the waterfront. I would stay there again.

Confusing and a shame”
Front desk staff were great, quick check in, polite and friendly. The pool staff need lessons in customer service and common sense. They say the pool is open until 10:00 pm for kids under 16.... but they close the slide at 9:54 pm and then make it verbally known that even though at this point there are no adults all kids have to leave. It's adult swim time. This I totally understand but there are no adults anywhere and the pool was completely empty after the kids and their parents were rushed out of the area. It looked like there were after work plans that would work a lot better if they could close up early and get to the party. Other hotels use common sense in a situation like this and look like heroes. Maybe next time you can do the right thing. Most pools which advertise largest indoor water park in Kingston do not do this for the adults.

Very good”
I enjoyed my stay , the room was okay , ther was only one curtain on the window and it was stuck on the tack. It would have been nice if the window dressing was complete and functional.

Very slow Wi-Fi ”
Wi-Fi was annoyingly slow and kept dropping. The first floor carpets need replacing...smells awful. The smoke detector in our room kept going off because if the humidity...no bathroom fan. The whirlpool needs refinishing to cover the chipped paint. Hot tub is broken...water fountain is broken. Not worth the price.
