My stay at Ambassador Hotel Kansas City had its ups and downs. The building, with its character from the 1920s, is beautifully renovated and offers a convenient location near downtown attractions. However, I experienced some service delays and issues with in-room amenities. Overall, it's a solid choice for those wanting to explore the city, albeit with some room for improvement.

My stay at the Ambassador Hotel Kansas City was a mixed bag. While the new south tower boasts fantastic, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and impressive fitness facilities, the overall experience was marred by outdated areas of the hotel and inconsistent service. The prime location near the power and light district is certainly a highlight that can't be overlooked.
