Would stay at the Ambassador Hotel Amarillo again

by SallySmithson at Citysearch

I recently stayed in Amarillo at Ambassador Hotel for a business trip, and had a very positive experience. The other hotels in Amarillo are just upscale “motels”. I needed a real hotel with real hotel facilities and services. The rate was very affordable and the value for the money spent, excellent.

The staff was very courteous as well as efficient and helpful and made check-in a breeze. The rooms are great with the business traveler in mind. My squeaky clean room had free wi-fi internet, a chair with a footstool that was great for relaxing while working on my laptop, and a very comfortable king bed. I found an exercise room for my morning workouts, and was pleased to find that the Heritage Park Café offered a breakfast buffet. It was nice not having to leave the hotel for a good breakfast.

Their lobby area is a great place to meet with clients in Amarillo. The Ambassador Hotel even has a business center in the lobby that worked well for me when I needed to quickly print documents.

When I return to Amarillo again, I will book the Ambassador hotel without question. As far as I am concerned, The Ambassador Hotel - Amarillo is the only business hotel in Amarillo!

• Pros: great business hotel, nice staff

Wonderful stay at a beautiful hotel

Stayed at the Ambassador Hotel-Amarillo when I went to visit my daughter at college. She and two friends came and stayed with me, and all were pleased. Arrived about 10 pm on Friday night and was greeted very warmly by the staff. Knowing I would need a room large enough for four, I booked one of the suites that are located on their Concierge Level. Our suite was very spacious and well-appointed. The girls had a separate bedroom with double beds and we so enjoyed having a separate living area to hang out in. One evening we decided to stay in, watch movies, and order room service. It is my understanding that the TGI Friday’s at the hotel takes care of their room service orders. They did a great job and we were all full and happy.

We ate breakfast at Heritage Park and it was wonderful. The cooked-to-order omelet was fresh and delicious, as were the other bountiful selections. Visits to the fitness center were a must after indulging at breakfast. The girls loved the fitness center and indoor whirlpool.

Both mornings we encountered housekeeping staff as we walked to breakfast and they were very cheerful and friendly.

The Ambassador Hotel is outstanding, and the location is convenient to the airport. Next time I visit, I will not need to rent a car because they offer a free shuttle from the airport.

With three years left of college, you can guess where I’m going to stay when I come back to Amarillo to visit my daughter-The Ambassador Hotel!

• Pros: Great hotel with lots to offer
• Cons: Can't think of anything

Ambassador Hotel-Amarillo is a good place, I enjoy it

by BDavidson at Citysearch

I stayed at the Ambassador Hotel twice in July, and many times in the past with my work. I think the furnishings in the rooms had a re-vamp recently, but I have not experienced most of the complaints listed in earlier reviews at this hotel. The rooms are large and well lit if you have outside windows. Some rooms overlook the indoor 5 story atrium containing the lobby, hotel restraunt and pool so those can be a little dim without room lights on. The beds are comfortable with good linens, and the desk/chairs/TV/AC are all of average to above average hotel quality. The bathrooms are small but clean and well stocked. I actually have had one instance of a slow tub drain here but I have also had that experience at many other hotels. The staff is friendly and helpful and the Fridays Restraunt attached to hotel has good food and a nice bar area. The workout room by the pool has pretty good cardio equipment. I don't know about the business center because the WIFI is excellent everywhere in the hotel so I use my laptop. I think there is a router on every floor, so sometimes you have to search out the best connection. I travel almost every week and stay in hotels of all stripes. This place is good, I enjoy it.
