We loved the area… very easy to get around for what we were needing. My biggest problem was cleanliness of this place. Yes we expected OLD we didn’t expect to be in a 5 star hotel.. But there was old vomit on the bed skirt of one of the beds and night stand. That is really disgusting. Shortages of towels and washcloths was another issue although the staff was friendly-ish it would have been nice to know ahead of time and we would have brought our own. Also there was an extra charge for the use of gym and pool of which we never saw or even wanted to have used even if we did see it just didn’t like that charge without even asking if we planned to use them

Staying at the Ambassador in OCMD was a complete disaster, with problems in every aspect of the room. Bugs: The room was infested with insects. Drain flies were constantly coming out of the pipes and flying around. There were dead bugs smeared on the walls and stuck in the ceiling lights, adding to the overall filth and neglect of the room. Cleanliness: The entire space was filthy. Dust and dirt covered every surface, and it was clear that nothing had been cleaned properly. The couch was stained, grimy, and smelled awful. To make matters worse, there were mysterious smears on the walls that I didn’t even want to think about. Smell: The odor in the room was overwhelming. The couch had its own foul smell, but the entire room reeked of weed, making it impossible to escape the stench. Safety Concerns: There were major safety hazards, too. A floor lamp had a light bulb barely hanging out, which seemed like a fire hazard waiting to happen. On top of that, the floorboard leading into the bedroom was rotting, and I felt like it could give way at any moment. Health Issues: The worst part was the physical reaction I had after staying there. I woke up with my eyes swollen shut and my entire body itchy. Even my ears were red and swollen. I’m not sure what was in the bed or room, but it clearly caused a severe allergic reaction. For the price I paid, I expected at least basic cleanliness and comfort. I was met with a room that was not only disgusting but also a health hazard.

The staff was not friendly except the girl at checkin. The shower sprayed everywhere getting the floor wet. The shower curtain was made for a round tub shower and had slits it, spraying water everywhere. Asked the front desk for a hand towel and bath rug, said simeone will bring it up and he wrote it down. Never got them bit they did take the bath rug we had drying outside.

No blow dryer in the room. Went to lobby to ask for it twice but still didn’t send it to the room. By the end, I slept with wet hair and woke up with not fully dry hair. No coffee cups in the room, had to ask from the front desk. Very noisy air conditioner. Luckily I had a Benadryl to help the sleep.

Extremely disgusting place, bathroom had mold. On the third floor there was no water even to wash your hands.. The staff said it was not their problem. The bed was damaged, you could not sleep in it. This property DOES NOT HAVE A POOL EVEN THOUGH THE PHOTOS SAY SO. The room smells like marijuana, total filth in every sense of the word.....

Unfortunately I wish I had more positive things to say but this stay was far from “perfect”, our AC line leaked so bad it puddled on the porch, there was clearly areas where water sat frequently and were rotted away on the porch. When it rained the last day, the paint was coming off of the porch. To get towels, you had to walk downstairs and request everything you needed, there was no room cleaning whatsoever. We requested a bottom floor, which we did not receive, so trip after trip got overwhelming. The pool is not on the same premises, you have to walk a few blocks. Overall just not very impressed, I’d say it was worth it for the money, but do consider the downsides

1 Filthy. 2 Unsafe. 3 Inconvenient. 4 misleading. the entire place was absolutely disgusting, vomit and cigarette butts on the stairs and in the halls, hair, finger/toenails, mold and rust in the bathrooms. Peeling paint, dirt covered windows, old food and unknown liquid in the microwave and refrigerator. Furniture was falling apart, electrical outlets were loose and faulty. Tv did not work. Ac was very temperamental and the unit itself covered in dust. The listing doesn’t say that the room is on the third floor up the stairs with no elevator. No balcony. Very cramped room. No pool on site, it’s at an entirely different property. I included a picture of the maintenance man replacing the broken tv with one that did not fit on the dresser, it was sliding and falling down, I told him I’d rather not have a tv than one that will fall on one of my kids. Before he gave up trying to balance the tv that obviously won’t fit, the face of the drawer falls off and lands on my foot. I had kids with me, this is unacceptable and unsafe. I informed the front desk and they switched my room to one that reeked of marijuana smoke, but the tv worked and the dresser did not immediately disintegrate. This all happened within 5 minutes of arrival after a long car ride, so at this time I was ready to just start my vacation and try to make the best of it. My advice, steer well clear of this place. They are obviously cheap and greedy slumlords.

This property needs to be completely torn down. Moldy rooms, faulty air conditioning, bathroom sink was hanging off wall, bathroom tiles cracked and moldy, bathtub basin completely moldy, I had to clean it when we got there. This place must pose a health hazard for humans and animals. Bugs stuck to the walls, mold, parking situation is scary at best, remote control for tv was missing backing and didn’t work, fridge was yucky. It was close to boardwalk, only plus about this property, and the rooms they display are not the rooms at the ambassador, neither is the pool, that’s a sister facility. Shady marketing as well.
