Delicious Restaurant Experience

During my stay, I found the food in the restaurant to be very good. The service was great too, making it a pleasant dining experience. Although it was a bit pricey, the quality of the meals made it worth it.

Fun Pool Area

The pool area was nice, especially the water slide. Even though my kids said the water was cold, they had a blast sliding down! The adult swim hour was a nice touch, providing a quiet time for relaxation.

Spacious and Well-Maintained Room

I stayed in a king room with a Jacuzzi that was spacious and well-appointed, despite a minor issue with a water-damaged ceiling in the bathroom. Overall, the room was comfortable and clean.

Great Family Hospitality Room

We had a hospitality room for our group, which was wonderful for gatherings. The kids loved having extra space to play, making our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel for family trips.

The hotel had a great atmosphere with nice common spaces and a lovely restaurant, making it a wonderful place for a theatre festival in Kingston. However, the rooms were disappointing and in need of an upgrade, as they had stained carpets and droopy curtains. While the service was generally good, we did face some issues with room upgrades not meeting expectations and a long walk from our room to the lobby.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were clean, but they had issues like stained carpets and droopy curtains. We upgraded to a business room that was supposed to have a sitting area, but all we got was a bench, which was a letdown.

Service

7.0

The service was decent overall, with courteous staff helping with check-in. However, I was quite disappointed that there was no attempt to offer compensation for the unsatisfactory room situation during our stay.

Location

8.0

The hotel was conveniently located for the theatre festival we attended, which was a huge plus. However, the long walk from the West building to the lobby and restaurant was tiring.

Dining

7.0

We enjoyed the restaurant's atmosphere, and the food was quite good. However, breakfast wasn't included, which is something to consider when planning your budget.

Facilities

6.0

While the common areas were nice, the overall facilities felt a bit outdated and could use some renovation to match the appeal of the restaurant and lobby.

5.2/10

Our stay at the Ambassador was a mixed bag. The rooms were reasonable and clean, but the service left much to be desired, particularly during check-in. The location was convenient, but we found the dining experience disappointing with poor breakfast options. Overall, there were definitely some positives, but the negatives impacted our stay more than we had hoped.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were quite clean and organized, which was a plus; however, the temperature was way too warm at night, making it hard to sleep comfortably.

Service

5.0

Service at the front desk was inconsistent. We encountered a rude clerk during check-in, which soured our experience, though there was a nice clerk later who attempted to help.

Location

7.0

The location of the hotel is decent, just off the highway, allowing for quick access to downtown, but not too deeply into the city.

Dining

Breakfast was a letdown. We should have ordered from the menu as the buffet items were cold and unappetizing.

The pool area could use some improvement; it was crowded and the hot tub was out of service when we wanted to use it.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. Check-in was smooth, and I appreciated the clean and comfortable room. However, the noise from a hockey team made it challenging to relax, especially for my family with special needs. The dining experience was good but pricey, and I was disappointed that the pool was non-operational for a good part of my visit. Overall, it was a decent stay, with some aspects that could be improved.

6.0/10

I was really looking forward to staying at this resort, especially because of the water park, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The facilities weren’t as advertised; several attractions were closed, and the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. On a brighter note, the location was nice and the staff were accommodating, but ultimately it didn't live up to expectations.

Rooms

The rooms were large and comfortable, but unfortunately, they weren't as clean as I hoped. We could hear everything from the rooms beside ours.

Service

The staff were quite friendly and went out of their way to assist with my grandson's food allergies, which I appreciated.

Location

The location was a bit further from downtown Kingston than I expected, but it was still a quiet area, which was nice.

Dining

5.0

I didn't find the dining options to be very well-priced for what we received, as it felt a bit expensive.
