Our suite was very nice. No complaints there. But the elevators are slow. Might help if they had more than two elevators working at a time. Valet after checkout was also painfully slow. We waited almost 30 minutes to get our car and I had requested it while we were still in our room.

The room was not as clean as I would expect from an Embassy Hotel. First off my room was not ready on time so I had to wait, then when I did get my room there was dirty towels on the floor outside the room door. Then once inside the shower walls had mold on the grout, and my wife found a blond hair on the bedsheets. Disgusting. At any price this is not acceptable, but especially for what they charge per night.

There are some really great staff members here, but… it was not a great stay. When we tried to check in, they said they had us down for the previous night and had charged us a “no show” fee. I showed them my confirmation— which clearly indicated I was there on the correct night. They told me this was an issue from Expedia, not the hotel. Then we had to listen to a lecture about how it should be a “lesson” to us - not to book through a third party. (Update: They told me on check-out that they would refund the erroneous “no show” fee.) Then we got to our room and it was terribly hot — the AC wasn’t working. They sent someone to fix it, and we had to just sit on one side of the room watching these (very nice) guys work. They did get it working about 2 hours after we checked in. The result of the work, though, was a soaking wet carpet on one side of the bed — which was not great, but a small price to pay for working AC. There was also a light that didn’t work, leaving one side of the room very dark. Not the end of the world. When we checked out in the morning, we asked if we could leave our bags and leave our car in Valet until 12:30pm. They said that was fine - no problem. However, when we picked up our car, the man at Valet was very curt and lectured me about being late to pick up my car, and told me he should charge me for an extra night. There seems to be some disconnect between the hotel and the folks who do valet. I don’t think I would return.

What you would expect. Nice check in. Beautiful hiistoric building. Rooms are spacious but need renovation (chipped tiles, chipped walls, etc) Breakfast buffet had a lot of choices but was an eco disaster with styrofoam cups, plastic everywhere and no where to recycle.

Nice stay but cold shower

We got the deluxe suite which was everything it said it was. I only gave the comfort part 4 stars though due to when I took a shower at 10am, the water was a little less than luke warm, basically it was like taking a cold shower! I even ran the water all the way to hot for close to 5 minutes....it never was even warm.

Hotel is understaffed . Staff was friendly and courteous. But it took three hours to get a roll of toulet paper, individual that came up to make up the pull out couch had no clue what he was doing and to get out car from valet we had to wait 30 minutes. For what we paid the service was not up to par. Rooms were adequate but nothing spectacular.

Hi- I stayed in Embassy Suits on July 19, and it was horrible, the check in took so long, because there was only one person on the desk, the bathroom shower made sounds as if the shower head is going to fall off and also there was poop stain in the toilet. The food area was smelly.
