It was ok.

Was told there was breakfast from 6-9am. The lobby from 5am-11am was empty no workers and no one ever set up breakfast.

Check in was super easy. Made sure I was in a downstairs room so I could see my bike. Super friendly staff. Recommended me to an amazing burger joint. I was exhausted from a long day of riding. Took a nice shower and passed out in bed. Slept great. AC was nice and cold. Checkout was a breeze.

The man who runs it, or manager was super sweet. I wanted to park in front of my room, but a car with a missing window and door handle was in front of my room. I don't even know if the car works. The vehicle next to it was a filled with junk, like someone living in their car. There were interesting people outside the room, sitting at all hours. My curtains wouldn't close all the way. No toiletries given, not even a bar of soap to wash my hands. A bucket of bleach water to wipe the walls would really help. Doors slamming at all hours woke me up. It served its purpose as a place to rest while having a busy weekend and it close to downtown. Place just needs a deep clean. I can tell that back in the day that it was a gem and it used to have a pool. The road its on has many budget motels that seem to have shady guests. I hope the new management can help clean the place up. Again, the hospitality of staff is amazing, place just needs a deep clean. Expect people to be outside smoking and staring at you when you come and go, especially later in the day. On an extreme budget fo ra last minute event, it was what I could afford.

The owner said his computers and Expedia do not communicate. Therefore we weren’t able to check in. They didn’t have any rooms available. Expedia should drop this hotel.

Clean, comfortable and excellent value!

I'm super impressed. This old motel is badly worn and has certainly seen better days. However, it is clean and comfortable. It was also cheap. The owner / manager was transparent about the condition and is getting ready for renovations. I can't wait to see what he does!

It only gets better from here

New owners are working really hard to recover a space that’s gotten pretty run down. They were incredibly helpful when we needed anything. Felt like good things are ahead for this property

I laugh at all the reviews on here straight up bashing this place!! Yes this place is old and run down but it serves its purpose!! As in a cheap room that functions as it should. the free internet was hands down the best when it comes to the cheaper end of rooms in this town. If your looking for the Hilton experience then you will need to spend AT LEAST double if not triple this price!! My only complaint was it was a bit dirty. Better cleaning and this place would great!! Also the drugged out looking peeps that live here make ANYONE feel unsafe FYI....

The walls in the room was dirty, the bed was very hard and the shower would drain very slowly when showering. Had to stand in high water to shower. Will never stay there again.

Beggars Cannot be Choosers...?

If you are expecting nice, look elsewhere. I ended up here as I refuse to stay again at a similar place in a nearby small town and other chain hotels in Salina were surprisingly expensive. The service at the Ambassy was fine. Courteous. But the place is far from idea. There were flies in the room, the towels and sheets are paper-thin, the A/C was serviceable but had to be cranked in order to serve a purpose, etc. Next time I need a place in Salina, I will look also elsewhere. If I had to return here, I suppose I might...?

This is literally the worst place I've ever stayed in my 54 years. The folks that own or run the place are extremely nice but you couldn't possibly do less to take care of a hotel. There's not enough room in this space to write all the horrible things about it but do not bring your family here and only stay here if it's a last resort.

Overall works for basic needs

Overall good price for what you get. Beds are comfortable enough but squeaky! Shower has good pressure but with no slip-guards on tub super slippery. Parking right outside door is nice. I did request and paid 5$ more for two queen beds but received two double beds… I wouldn’t want to pay more than 70.

Not worth the money

For the price paid for the room, $80, it was very run down and located in what seemed to be a bit of a sketchy part of Salina. The beds were uncomfortable, flat pillows, rusty bath faucets. I was traveling with 2 small children alone and was very displeased with the cleanliness and lack of safety I felt here.

Don’t let the site scare you, it is great

I really liked the people who operated the location. It was not the 5 star inn but it was priced perfectly for my needs. Great for a bachelor driving through.

Spartan!

For the price I paid, the room was adequate for a 1 night stay. If you are used to luxury. This not the ace stay. It was convenient for my stay and for the activities i was to attend. I have hotels.com gift card but was not able use it when i booked nor when i checked in. I was satisfied with the Ambassy Motel!

We didn’t stay! We went to a different motel. The room was horrible! This place freaked me out. The walls in our room had been written on. The front desk guy had to go and unlock the deadbolt before we could even get in the room. The bathroom was dirty. The guy had to hit the door of the bathroom to get in. My husband went to get our refund

For the price it’s about what you would expect. The staff was friendly and the room was clean and in decent condition. It smelled a little foul but nothing was too bothersome. There was water on the floor in the bathroom but nothing too extreme. If you’re with family, I’d suggest somewhere else but just for one person for a night or two, this is quite sufficient.

I get the place is old and outdated...but even old places can be clean. I told my husband not to touch anything, didnt even shower as the towels looked questionable . Im glad we didnt catch HIV OR HEPATITIS from the obvious dried blood/ possible fecal matter on the wall, door and light switch in the bathroom. We were so tired from driving we crawled into the bed, just under the sheet and slept fitfully, waiting for morning. Not impressed.

Squealing heater, peeling wall paper.

When I arrived, the room temperature was the same as the outside air (35 degrees). They cranked up the heat on the wall unit, but it took a couple hours for it to get up to normal room temperature, and the heater had a bad bearing that squealed all night, so no sleep. Wall paper peeling off the walls. No shampoo. No facial tissue. On the positive side, it was clean, and the man who checked me in was nice.

Please do not stay here.

I paid for this room and was scared to spend the night so I actually left and got myself a different room. I'm not a little guy, 6'3" and in the mid 200's. Twenty years in the military and have been in three different wars. Perhaps that is what gave me that "feeling" which made me leave.

Quick cheap stop for the night

Just needed a quick cheap place to sleep for the night on a long road trip. Gentleman at desk was prompt and polite. Room was very basic but heater worked fine and I slept well. Room was old but clean in general, however there was cat/dog hair in the sheets. No issues otherwise; didn't spend time in the town.
