This is a basic no frills motel. Decor and mattresses have definitely seen better days but its clean and very reasonably pr iced. more

Well, we got off to a bumpy start. I had made reservations a couple weeks prior to our stay. When we arrived and tried to check-in, I was told our room was accidentally given to another group. Ouch. I had reserved a 2 queen bed room with a microwave and refrigerator since my hubby and I were traveling with 3... more

Traveled with three young kids: enjoyed the spacious room, brand-new firm mattresses, closeness to the lake and the Gondola. Would enjoy even more if we had microwave and refrigerator (some rooms have them). Otherwise, would recommend to anyone. more

This is a family run motel that we booked thru travelocity. We have stayed at several dumps in the area before but being the adventurous type, we want to try different ones to see for ourselves for future reference which is good and which is bad. This place is a pleasant surprise. The staff was nice and check in was... more

3 of us stayed here for a ski weekend. The hotel is in a very good location close to the Heavenly gondola (walking distance without ski boots!) as well as to the Casinos. The rooms themselves are basic but suitable although our beds were pretty firm. The shower was hot and the bathroom was clean. Getting the heater to turn... more

First of all I would like to say that Jen who runs the motel is just terrific. She let us changed our reservation a couple of times even thought the cancellation time was well passed. The hotel is a very nice and clean. The rooms are spacious. Location is great: right across all the Casinos. Walking distance to everything. I... more

After scouring through the reviews, I chose Ambassador for its price and location. I was not disappointed. Upside 1: Convenience. It is a 5-minute walk to the casinos and Heavenly Village. The shuttles to Kirkwood, Sierra at Tahoe, and Heavenly all stop within one block. Ample food options are on the main highway. Upside 2: Cost. Even for a holiday... more

The room was a basic budget hotel room, but there were nice touches throughout that raised it above others in that category. As an inexpensive place for the family to stay on a weekend ski trip, it was fine. There are rustic chairs and benches along the walkways outside the rooms, which weren't much use to us during the winter,... more

The building is a typical 2 story motel, with larger than average sized rooms. The furniture and decorations are very 60's in a "just-like-my-grandparent's-house" sorta way, but everything is VERY clean. The sheets and towels are crisp white, the blanket and bedspread are very clean. The room was marked 'non-smoking' and I'm happy to report that the room and NONE... more
