First checked in and the room was dirty. Bathtub looked like it was half cleaned because it had some dirt in it. I always inspect before I unpack my luggage and when my husband sat down on the couch, I saw a bug crawling on it. Took a video of it and went downstairs to get another room. To my surprise the second room was cleaner than the first, however, the bathtub was more dirtier than the first one. Water was leaking and it had a lot of grime and dirt in the middle of the shower. Even when I turned the shower off after trying to run the dirt down the drain, it stayed in place. Overall customer service was nice.

Awful property, worst Embassy Suites I have stayed at. Between the moldy/rusty shower, the canned lights coming out of the ceiling, the A/C that sounds like a jet engine when running, the loud kids running down halls knocking on doors, the broken or missing ice makers on three different floors, the broken coffee maker and so much more, this was a truly poor experience. Would not recommend.

No water for 4 hours after checking in. Was told boiler was being repaired. Said I didn’t wanted to check in with my ill mother with no working toilet. Was THEN told after front desk person stepped away and made a phone call that the water was back on and we can check in and would have no problem. A few minutes later we are of course inside a room with no water no working toilet and it stayed that way for close to 4 hours, creating anxiety and anger for my elderly mother and myself. Being lied to was unconscionable. Why must I even justify the need for a toilet. I am forever disgusted by our treatment.
