"Very pet friendly! We needed a wheelchair accessible room and were traveling with our two dogs. The bathroom was large enough to turn a wheelchair and had a roll in shower. The staff were all very good with the dogs. Our larger dog was afraid of the shiny tile in the lobby. If you encounter this, we solved it by buying him some boots for traction. We ate in the bar a couple of times and enjoyed great food and service there. Enjoyed the Art Deco ambiance!" -Paulla
"Hands down the best place to stay. This hotel is unique, original and the staff goes above and beyond to help you. From making the reservation with Wanda over the phone, to check out, the staff made you feel incredible. I came in for the NYE race and was pleasantly surprised when I was told that there is a free shuttle to and from the hotel. When I checked in, I walked into a beautiful 1920's theme lobby with super cool elevators and incredible atmosphere. Thank you Kelly for being so attentive to me when I came to check out and asked about the shuttle. Thank you Sali & Artist for dropping me off and picking me up from the race. Thank you Barry for serving me tasty soup, finding apple juice and sharing with me the history of the hotel. Finally, thank you Rick Wiegand for owning this hotel and hiring stellar staff. This stay was incredible. This hotel is hard to beat. If you are vacationing in Milwaukee, I would highly recommend you to try this. You will not be dissapointed!" -L. Sveronikak
"New Year's Eve getaway. The service was prompt and efficient, the room was clean, quiet, and spacious. We spent New Year's even here, and had a wonderful time, from the champagne in the room, to the brunch the next day. Everything was terrific." -Dave
"Roaring 20's NYE! This was our 1st stay at the Ambassador as part of a NYE package. Had some minor issues upon arrival which were resolved fairly quickly with above-average attention and care. This staff was on top of things! A nice surprise given how busy they were with the large event they were preparing for. Another nice surprise, and maybe it was due to the celebratory NYE atmosphere, was how jovial the entire staff was in comparison to other places I've stayed. Not one attitude or even a blase demeanor from this group. The beds were comfy and the room was clean and spacious. All-in-al a great stay with wonderful staff, excellent food, and an amazing NYE celebration! Looking forward to attending future events at the Ambassador." -Pamela

Staff was wonderful from people at the front desk to the clean team and shuttle drivers. Love the Art Deco, the bottle of wine for the welcome. The back in the room was amazing. The food at the restaurant in the lobby light and delicious." -Juliana
"A step back in time. This renovated Art Deco hotel is truly a sight to behold and enjoy. The rooms are very spacious and most definitely clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The self parking is in-and-out with no restrictions. The bar offers many selections including cocktails from the time when the hotel was first opened and the 1920s. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the dining room. The food was excellent and my friend and I had absolutely no complaints. And oh yes it is a pet friendly hotel. A special thanks to Liza the bartender who was thoughtful, courteous and knowledgeable in her service; John in the dining room who waited on our table with exemplary service and courtesy and Ike who not only delivered our room service breakfast but made sure it was absolutely correct as ordered and delivered on time with a delightful manner and smile. I highly recommend the Ambassador Hotel especially if you enjoy a not your "run-of-the-mill" type of hotel experience." -Marcella

"I have stayed here both times I traveled to Milwaukee. Both times I was in town for a concert. The hotel is very convenient for both of the venues we went to. One was right across the street, and the other was less than a ten minute drive on the free shuttle that they offer. The first time we stayed we were very impressed at how beautiful the lobby area and bar were. This last time we noticed that they have added a fire pit and nice decorative pieces on their patio outside. It was very lovely. The staff have been very nice and very helpful. To be honest when I come back to Milwaukee, I will always choose the Ambassador Hotel. I can only see it getting better and better each time." -Caysien
