The elevator in the parking garage didn't work correctly! Also, The ice making machine was located out side my front door. Looks like they were doing repairs?? It was the first this I saw when entering my room. It was there for both days of my visit. I also had lamps in the room that were not able to turn on??

The staff was rude and for the cost, it was very disappointing. I was always under the impression the Embassy Suites was on par with other Hilton brands or Marriot. It was closer to a motel 6 type of hotel. Considering the price was comparable to the Marriot and Hyatt in town, this was a very poor choice on our part.

This is our third time staying at the same property with my family. The hotel is well located however, it definitely needs upkeep. The couch in the room and the cabinets have excessive wear on it and there is a musky smell. There were several dead crickets in our room and throughout the property. The garage, cost $50 a night and the elevators are broken and the stairwell smells of urine. The location is excellent, very convenient to get in and out of the city quickly but, it definitely needs upkeep.

Enjoyed the convenience of breakfast and happy hour on the property. Hated the cricket invasion (I killed seven in the room myself.) Maid service was only available upon request. Return air vent in the bathroom was hanging off the ceiling. This was not the Embassy Suites I remember.

Disappointing
I frequently stay at embassy suites. I know and expect their quality. This was NOT one of those times. Parking price was outrageous, which is what you expect in a big city but the garage wasn’t even connected & not monitored. Dogs were everywhere in this hotel, Barking & chasing other dogs, Walking the halls, in the eating area. I don’t hate dogs but I definitely don’t want them all over in my hotel. Super annoying. The food was not up to Embassy standards at all. The drink machine was broken the entire time, less choices than normal- very skimpy. I will not be back to this location,
