    • Staff was really nice
    • Location to area needed

    Cons -

    • there was bugs in the room . the smell in the room was not pleasant. breakfast was alonso horrible.
    • Hotel beds were sub par. Stayed as a wedding party guest and wanted to stay near my family. No go. Had to change my room 3 times. It was so cold to sleep even when I turned the temp up. Terrible experience.
    • Dirty, holes in carpet in room, no program sheet on telephone which meant we couldn’t call front desk without physically going down to the front desk.

    The breakfast bar and happy hour

    No fan in the restroom

    1Verified guestPosted on: 4-6-2026

    The convenience of being close to being downtown

    It was gross black mold on walls, toilet ran the whole time, and the sink and shower didn’t drain!

    1JeannePosted on: 11-27-2025

    The rooms haven’t seen the light since the hotel was opened. There is dirt, dust, stains, rust and just gross all over the hotel. The beds sit on the floor and are rock hard. The bathroom had hair, crusty elements and overall unclean. The worst ES.

    7TammiePosted on: 11-9-2025

    The staff & breakfast

    The couch was sunk in, the wall was covered in candle wax, the hand washing sinkwas loose and rotated when trying to wash your hands, but onto it off the rust in the bathtub topped it off

    10StevenPosted on: 10-12-2025

    Clean rooms, great location, easy to park, most places in the city are walkable, Excellent breakfast, nice pool area and workout facility

    10Verified guestPosted on: 9-29-2025

    The pull out couch mattress in room 633 is the worst mattress I have ever slept on. It needs to be replaced.

    10SharonPosted on: 9-21-2025

    Location, staff, spacious room

    It's a litttle long in the tooth. Just some minor touchups would make a big difference

    5Verified guestPosted on: 8-18-2025

    It's very beautiful and convenient and the stuff is very friendly

    The heating didn't work. 62 degrees outside and all in the room is air conditioner in the settings, so only cold air in the room. Also, the water was running on the floor from the bathroom all the way to the carpet. The tile floor is freezing.

    6Verified guestPosted on: 8-4-2025

    Breakfast, happy hour

    Old, needs updating. The first room we were placed in was musty and humid to the point of sheets being wet. They moved us rooms for our next nights; that room was much better, however still outdated and not thoroughly cleaned.

    8ElizabethPosted on: 7-27-2025

    Cleanliness, elevator, location, quiet, spacious, when I asked for service, they were immediate to help.

    Very poor quality of hide a way bed. Uncomfortable.

    1NatePosted on: 6-2-2025

    The elevator

    25$ a day for parking . And as advertised as a 12 person hot tub . Was no hot tub

    10RubenPosted on: 5-17-2025

    they gave me a room upgrade, offered free parking, and doubled our snack bag upon arrival

    8Verified guestPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Breakfast with omelette station, drinks at happy hour

    Really wanted a room with a bath tub, told they were sold out. The shower water temperature was difficult to regulate. Had some issues with logging on/off internet.

    Happy hour and breakfast

    Our heater wasn't working in the room, they did fix it though.

    5PaulPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Breakfast was good

    The bed were very uncomfortable which included the pullout bed. Still continuing the drink tickets while other Embassy Suites have discontinued. Your rate are higher than other Embassy's.

    Large room. Proximity to event.

    We were locked out of our room upon returning after events

    1EmilyPosted on: 1-27-2025

    Location

    The room was FREEZING even with the thermostat set to 80. There is a sharp exposed metal piece right before you get to the bathroom as you walk in.
