Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Phone in room didn’t work, front desk lady incredibly rude and uncooperative. Left a day early due to the rudeness of staff and run down condition of hotel. There was something pink and gross on the shower holder and shower was a nightmare to run. Embassy Suites has taken a big dive. Had to rebook my son into a different hotel due to ADA accommodations not being available despite asking THREE times about it. The hotel refused to work with Travelocity to remedy the problem, instead trying to make me pay for an ADDITIONAL ADA room that was available. Never again.

This is usually our go to place to stay when visiting the Springs. The last couple of stays have not been what they used to be. This time, the bathroom didn’t look clean, and the room looked like it already needed repairs (chipped walls, blinds didn’t work properly, AC was rattling) and wasn’t cleaned properly (found top to bottle, leaves and stems in our room).

Eeh. Ok

Waited 10 minutes to get checked in the poor kid who was trying to run the front desk had to do 1 million different things at one time and he was trying his best while the management sat back in an office and just stared at the people in a line waiting to check in This poor boy was running around doing everything he could try to please everybody by himself. Made me sad for him. The hotel is OK. It could’ve been really good except that there was leftover food under our nightstand from the previous people all that obviously wasn’t cleaned up well
