Ambassador Hotel Kansas City, Autograph Collection

My wife and I had a 2 night stay here in May. We enjoyed great service, and the staff and valets were very friendly and helpful. Some things to note: - Hotel is in downtown KC and just a short two block walk to the free KC Streetcar on the main axis linking all the sites north to River Market and south to Union Station. Looks like the line will be extended to Country Club Plaza soon. MAX bus service stops nearby as well. - Also, a short, half mile walk to the T-Mobile Center/Power & Light District from the hotel - There is no Club lounge for Marriott members but desk check in was very proactive in giving us either a restaurant credit or the 750 pts per night option - We did not dine at the hotel but there is a jazz supper club in the basement which runs on Friday - Sat nights and a small bar/cafe off the lobby - There is a small gym in the basement. Website shows a Peloton bike, but no Peloton bike was present on our stay if you are hoping for one. - Beekman Brothers toiletries which my wife loved - Our room was very spacious, in the older portion of the two buildings. But it was dark which was great for sleeping but not so much for reading. Another lamp would be helpful - housekeeping was very proactive Would we stay again - yes, very much so!

Overall, the Ambassador Hotel was a wonderful stay. The staff was professional, the common spaces were well-decorated, and both the restaurant and the bar were great places to dine/drink. We were upgraded to the Parlour suite, which was a fabulous room, making our stay even more wonderful. The gym was a little bit of an afterthought in the basement of the building, which was right next door to Loni's Jazz Club, though it had what I needed to get a decent workout in. The crown jewel to the property, however, is Loni's Jazz Club. We made reservations a few months in advance and it was one of the coolest things we could have done there. Loni, himself, is a wonderful man - he went around and thanked each of us for coming; as well as his daughter who was performing at the bar upstairs. When you're inside this property, it will most definitely be a wonderful stay however, the minute you step outside, it's a different story. NOTE: This has nothing to do with the hotel itself, but I think it's worth the mention. Since this hotel is located just a few blocks from the arena, it's not in the greatest of areas anymore. It is inadvisable to walk around at night, much less during the day in that section of town. We ended up taking Ubers or drove as much as we could.

Nice hotel.

Mike the valet was great and very helpful and friendly, got us take. Care of super fast. Hotel is clean and well put together. First time Susan this hotel in downtown Kansas City would definitely recommend this hotel to other. A little pricey but it it is in the middle of down town!

I would like to recognize Mr. Nalls for helping me with valet, he was respectful and helpful and i appreciated how attentive he was. He was quick with the entire process, moving diligently while staying respectful the entire time. Thank you to Mr. Nalls.

Very good service especially at the front counter and the service with the valet driver. Desmond took good care of my car and I felt that I was in good hands when i passed the keys. The hotel was beautiful with a very nice bathroom and a comfortable bed that was perfect even for it being a hotel. The amenities the hotel also offers gave me exactly what I needed for the two nights I was staying there. I will definitely be staying here again the next time I come through Kansas City.
