While this wasn't the nicest place that I have stayed it certainly was far from the worst. I would recommend it for its convenient location and clean, comfortable room. Room was clean. Service was good. Location was good. I didn't know that we had to pay separately for parking. More

1) Here’s the kicker: a colleague of mine got stuck in the elevator for 15 minutes. He rang the alarm button and, although it rang, no one responded. After finally prying himself out he went to the front desk and saw an attendant and a bellhop standing around. He told them what had happened and instead of offering apologies or... More

I booked this room for one night to stay the night of a Saints Monday Night Football game. I wasn't overly impressed by the service. They were helpful, but not overly so. Only 1 valet, and he was so overworked, it was impossible to him to be too friendly. However, the room and the cost was EXACTLY as expected. There... More

Even though this Hotel offered a good rate, it was not worth any price to stay in this run down facility. The bedside lamp had a broken socket with exposed wire that could have caused a terrible accident had we not noticed it before reaching up from the bed to turn it on. There was not a comforter or bedspread... More

My husband booked this hotel and after reading some of the reviews, I was a little worried. However, we found it basic but clean, and I thought the staff was pretty friendly. The decor is simple and traditional: bed with a two-post headboard, one art print on the wall and a dark wood media armoire. It has old dark-stained hardwood... More

As a frequent traveler to New Orleans, I always choose The Ambassador Hotel. The rooms are clean and quiet, the location is great....right by all the great restaurants, and steps to the French Qurter. The Ambassador has a unique New Orleans charm that is priceless. All the employees I encounter are friendly and attentive. Last time I visited I noticed... More

Location good right downtown near both warehouse district and french quarter. Hotel employees were on the rude/miserable side, and you could tell they didn't want to be there. The hotel first needs to buy a vacuum to start with and work on it from there. The room was dirty upon entering it. My socks were filthy after walking around on... More

This is the worst Hotel my wife and I have ever stayed in. Rooms are horrible with holes in the walls. The room we were in was not even leveled, we were walking at an incline to get to the bed. Cleaning was horrific and it was simply not worth the money. Breakfast was a joke and the smell..another story.... More
