“Bedbugs!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed there for only a few hours, in room 79, as we had to escape and sleep in the car due to the bedbugs!

My boyfriend and I were lying in bed under the covers watching t.v. when I felt something crawl over my arm. I threw back the covers and lo and behold, a bed bug. We jumped out of the bed horrified, and then I found two more! ARGH! When we headed down to the front desk with the dastardly bed bugs in a styrofoam cup, the clerk said that she would call the exterminator the next day, and refunded our money, although we still had to sleep in the car as they were no other hotels available. I highly suggest that you avoid this hotel for quite a while... bedbugs are very difficult to get rid of and they can travel between rooms. If one room has bedbugs, it is very likely that there are several others infested, and you really don't want to be bringing bedbugs home as souvenirs.

“PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2010

I have NEVER met such IGNORANT people. If this is the service that you receieve, staying at a hotel, I have no idea how these people stay in business.The rate quoted on the phone was 69.00, when we arrived it jumped to 89.00 final story!! The clerk was extremley rude. When we told her we were not taking the room as it was TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!!! she said to me, "well this will not be happening again" and I told her, you are right, it won't becuase we will never be coming back. To that she replied "good" I told her with we weren't coming back because of her patheic attitude, she then looked at me said "my attitude?" I then told her, she certainly should not be working in the Customer Service Field. She said I will return your money this time but never again. We didnt even rec a service why wouldn't you return our money. I work in a major hotel, and I am pretty sure if I treated people the way this people treat their guest I would be out of a job! Keep on going!!!!!

“Good for an overnighter”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2008
1
person found this review helpful

After a 15 hour drive, this place was a welcomed sight for tired eyes. The room we checked into was clean, but the bed seemed a bit lopsided. Definately bring your own set of pillows in with you. Our purpose was served, we had a bed for the night and a shower to freshen us up.

We felt the rooms were fairly priced given the excellent location. Being right on theTrans Canada highway and near downtown Calgary, made it easy for a late evening sightseeing drive through the city. Had we not found accommodations with an aquaintence on our return trip to Winnipeg, we would have checked in there again.

“great and hepful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2008

I stayed at the Ambassador Motor Inn with my husband and our 2 year old. We were down for christmas and when we booked the room we went with a room with 2 beds. When we were checking in the front desk lady offered us a 3 room suite. This room had 2 seperate bedrooms and a living room and a kitchen. This was great since we had our daughter with us. I have never seen a room quite like this one. It was clean, comfortable and a great deal for the price. I would stay there again anytime, the staff were freindly and very helpfull.

“Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I advised we had an 8 month old with us and need a fridge - this was in the room when we got there. The room was not clean at all - hadn't been vacuumed in who knows how long - there was a pair of sunglasses and garbage on the floors beside the beds. I complained and asked it to be cleaned. when we returned the toilet was broken and the bed covers were stained beyond imagination.. If I was desperate for a place to stay and I didn't have my 8 month old granddaughter with me - fine - but for the price I could have stayed in a Best western with a pool that worked for $30 more a night... that would have been worth the extra if I could have found a place with a vacancy. I have stayed alot of places - this was by far the worst -not worth the price.
