    Otherwise, the hotel is just overall run-down and sketchy looking. Because of the no AC, everyone has to have their windows open, and people are always in the parking lot trying to cool off, which is loud. We actually left before staying a second night because it was so bad.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Somewhat clean but no air conditioning or even a fan. Myself, my parter and my two kids were up most of the night due to being too hot. We tried leaving windows open to get air but there was way too much noise all night line from other people that were staying there.

    Very bad experience to stay in ambassador No AC in the property dirty Rooms no soap and shampoo in dispensers don’t book this property

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Horrible. The room was dirty. The linens were dirty. There were bugs in every corner. There are no air-conditioners in any room. I didn't feel safe staying here. I will not recommend this property to anyone.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    No air conditioner and was not stated. For the price no Air conditioner is crazy and unacceptable. If you are staying with kids not great place.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Bathroom and room itself needs better cleaning, the blankets were not cleaned, sheets were good.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    AC was broken in both rooms. No fans were provided in lieu despite requests with the front desk.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    No ac and the property was in tatters. Weeds grown up waist high. They painted the outside of the property and left the rest in bad condition. 1st room had bed bugs but the second room wasn’t in much better shape but no bugs. This was the worst room I’ve ever waisted money on.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was close to strip and beach area. They gave vouchers to enter private beach. There was no A/C, there was a black widow in the tub upon arrival, there was only one little bar of soap. The pool was of of commission. There was no iron or ironing board. There was a broken floor wall heater in bathroom.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    There no Ac read the fine print

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    If I could give this place lower than 1 star I would. -1000! There is no A/C! There is no breakfast! There isn’t even anyone at the front desk in the morning. During check in I was told the A/C hasn’t been working for 2 months. It is the summer and pool looks condemned! It was so hot in the room we had to leave the windows open just to get some air. A creepy man was looking through our window. I would never stay here again. Extremely disappointed this hotel is a joke. I want my money back!

    Pésimo hotel, sin aire acondicionado… y no dice que no tienen aire cuando uno hace la reservación, por la calidad de la propiedad no se puede pagar más de 93 dólares como mucho, está sobrevalorado… pague 565 dólares por una noche, el cual esperaba algo más cómodo e higiénico!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    No A/C Nothing like in the pictures A $100 room Almost $500 a night they take advantage of the demand knowing there's no hotels vacancy available anywhere near. Avoid it as much as possible.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    There is no continental breakfast. The heater did not work. The private beach that we had access to cost to get into. the room was very clean, the beds were comfortable. We picked this place to attend a concert. It served its purpose, but not having something to eat in the morning was disappointing.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Dusty in the room

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Awful hotel but staff member was outstanding in her handling the situation. No air conditioning, no shower curtain for shower, Had to plug in light, fan we were given had grinding sound.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Superb

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Convience All plugs were not working

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The pool was completely empty also we were pretty bummed out about that. I will not be staying g here again at least not during g the summer time

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Location The AC was not working in the middle of the summer with temps of almost 80°, the pool was also not functioning, the owner was rude when I tried to ask about THE AC not working, the bright lights outside all the rooms interfere with sleeping because they do not have curtains only blinds
