We stayed at the Ambassador Hotel for one night while on our honeymoon. We booked the hotel through the tourist office in town because of the price and the car park. Upon arrival, we happened to let it slip that we were on our honeymoon and we were upgraded to a room with a balcony and a view for no extra cost. I'm sure it helped that it was the middle of January and the hotel was far from filled, but we appreciated the gesture anyway!
The room itself was lovely and very large. We had a large queen-sized bed that was very comfortable. The view of the city was spectacular from our 2nd floor (3rd if you're American) balcony. The bathroom was nice and well-stocked with toiletries (shampoo, body wash and moisturizer). One of the highlights of the room, though, was that the heat worked! After freezing our way through various hotels in Ireland and England, it was wonderful to finally find a place that was comfortable overnight.
The hotel is a bit of a walk from the town center and the hike back was a workout, to say the least, but the distance also meant that the hotel was quiet. Overall, a lovely, comfortable stay.
