Historic hotel with contemporary flair near Riverwalk, downtown sites
Three historic coffee warehouses were combined and repurposed to create this unique Arts District hotel. Modern appointments join original hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and recycled wrought iron for a completely contemporary feel. The National Park Service has certified the restoration, and the result is a one-of-a-kind hotel in a great location. The hotel has easy access the convention center, French Quarter or cruise terminal. Riverwalk and its paddleboat rides are at the doorstep.

Good deal
Decent place and friendly staff. There were many amenities--compact but comprehensive gym, free printing, and free wireless. However, the breakfast was lame, the elevators function at random, and the lighting in the room was less than desired. Still, a better deal and a beautiful interior than many nearby hotels.

Comfortable and handy accomodations
A great location for exploring this unique city. The food and the bar were a great addition to a great hotel find. As others have mentioned, the shower curtain was in dire need of a clean-up but I found everything else to bequite acceptable.

Professional Conference Stay
Overall the stay at the Ambassador Hotel served its purpose, meaning I had somewhere to sleep at night. However, the room was very dingy looking and didn't feel clean and fresh like other hotels I've stayed in. The hotel staff was very friendly and the location was superb. The old saying " you get what you pay for" fits this hotel nicely.

Enjoyed.
I loved the lobby and wood in the room. They cleaned good, but never swept the floors. Housekeeping is good.

Great location for the price
This hotel is in a great location for the convention center, and within walking distance to many great restaurants. However, the building I was in had no outside windows, which made the room very dark and dreary. I could not get the AC to make the room cool enough, even though the hallway was quite comfortable. It also could have been cleaner...

Not very pleased. Front desk not friendly. Rooms too noisy.
We had a very bad experience. My daughter was taking a bath when all of a sudden a tile from the ceiling fell on her head. We had to take her to the local hospital. The hotel was not concern about her well being. The manager for some reason was not around to talk to us. This was very dissapointing. The had to be moved to another room and no compensation was considered. Thishotel was recommended to us but we probably will not recommendit to no one we know.

Unusual and nice
Since the Ambassador Hotel is a renovated coffee warehouse, it is very different from a chain hotel. There are hardwood floors, and unusual architectural features. The last room in which I stayed had a nice king size bed and a separate sitting room. The price is also extremely nice for New Orleans.

Very Nice
Nice hotel, friendly staff. My wife and I only had one night stay, but it was everything we thought it was going to be. Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere with an older, rustic building feel to it. Room was very spacious. The dining in the restraunt was phenomenal! The location was good too!

The restraunt located in the hotel is called US Prime and it was delicious. The Hotel is not far at all from the French Quarter, Harrah's Casino, and other nightlife activities, daytime activities.

Great value
The hotel was a good value for the money in that it was in a convenient location and felt very safe. Very short walk to the casino. Also an easy walk to the French Quarter. The room was spacious. In fact it was actually a mini suite in that it had a separate sitting area with television, sofa and desk. The bedroom had a comfortable bed and television with nice bathroom. My two negatives are that we could hear the person above us walking around on the wooden floors - from bedroom to bathroom and back again - knew their every move in the morning. Also, there was no window in the room. The building is a restored warehouse type of building with charm but with those two drawbacks. The room was spacious and the hotel was charming. Definitely for the money and location it is a great value.
