We had a lovely time here during our stay. Unfortunately the Hamilton weather wasn't great during the week so having a little extra space in the room was great with two kids running round. The rooms were warm and tidy. The staff really pleasant and welcoming and the location was handy to everything. It was just what we needed and... More

Our business has used the conference facilities at the Ambassador several times over the past couple of months. The room is located on the top floor of the tower block and provides an awesome view of the city. Not at all like many conference rooms where you feel locked in. All our needs have been taken care of and the... More

It was freezing when we arrived and the room was cosy and warm. I was a bit hesitant of the motel being so close to two busy intersections. However it was extremely quiet and comfortable. Within walking distance to river walk and even better a good choice of eateries. Definitely stay again. Perhaps a bottle opener in our room next... More

My husband and I have now been here at the Ambassador for a couple of months. We are working for a while next door so it is very handy for us and has a good secure parking. The motel is very close to city center, parks, river, casino, Nosh Food market, Pack'n Save and restaurants. Comfortable super clean rooms with... More

Tried somewhere different to stay this time so went with Trip advisor feedback and booked this one. Good location, all you need close by. Stay would have been excellent if not for other inconciderate guests. Temp management friendly and helpful

Very friendly staff. Excellent location, adjacent to supermarket, and walkable into city centre. Older style rooms but with a lot of space which was really nice as we were travelling with our 6-month old daughter. The set-up of the portacot was utterly gorgeous - all made up and turned down just like a bed.

After mentioning that the room was a little noisy - I'm a light sleeper and Hamilton has many boy racers - we were moved to a lovely comfortable room in the tower block. Had a great nights sleep and Anthony on reception is a great guy and very helpful. Happily stay here again

Had a lovely time at The Ambassador. The recepetionist was lovely (can't remember his name unfortunately) and really helpful. Comfy beds and a good shower were a bonus - often don't get 1 let alone both of those at some places! I didn't get time to use the pool but it did look extremely inviting! I will definitely stay there... More
