    I didn’t hate staying there. I do think it was overpriced.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The price was fair. Stay was pretty good. Staff when I checked in was friendly and helpful. He even gave us tickets to a Private beach. Overall this wasn’t a bad place and will definitely come back and stay again. Everything was a walking distant. Definitely put in my steps. I didn’t need a fancy room, I was rarely in the room any ways. Unfortunately the room I had, the AC wasn’t working. So it was a little warm in there. Other than that it was decent a fan was provided to help. Area was kinda dark at night.

    The property did not have any air conditioning, and it was 84 degrees inside. The thermostat worked, but not sure what it controlled, as there was no air conditioner or fan in the room

    No water in pool, no soap, shampoo. No make up the room or towels, lost internet during the stay. The office guy still has not returned $150 they said was a hold in case of damage. Reported to my bank that started criminal process against any and all! Nothing!

    Nothing!

    Very good

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Room was clean. There is no air conditioning or it doesn't work. Bed was fine. There is no breakfast. It's fine property to stay one night but has bare minimum facilities.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    We booked The Ambassador through Expedia and had a great experience. The place was extremely clean, comfortable, and very well kept. It made our stay in Lake Tahoe relaxing and easy. The rooms were nice, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything felt well taken care of. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a clean and comfortable place during your trip. Everything was walking distance

    we loved our stay this...

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    We got charged an extra $76 of fees!!! Without any explanation. The room was also very loud because the heater makes noises when it’s operating.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    great location, very friendly there was a kitchen but things were missing so not really useful

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    parking is NOT free! I was charged a ridiculous $62.00 for one 1 night.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    the room were clean and spiciest. it seemed the bathrooms were not set up for tall people. I am 5.2 and was able to shower ok but my partner was a bit unconfutable due to this. Also the heater was a problem at night it got to hot and all we where told to do was to leave a window open witch it not so great since it right next to the bed.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Very nice clean staff very pleasant nice I will stay in the future trips

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    There was too much noise in the room; vibrations and many noises could be heard.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Not appreciate room temperature, regulation is not possible.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Great location. Sink was dirty when we checked in. No towels available in room besides the one under the heater in the bathroom. No real bathroom vent. Bathroom door would not close we had to force it closed.
