The door for the washrooms at rooms 409 and 410 are not wide enough for a wheelchair. Luckily, Room 404’s washroom can swing the door a bit open and barely the wheelchair can get in. There is not enough bar handles to grab for the person to transfer from wheelchair and sit in the toilet seat. Some technical additions Embassy Inn should consider looking into. Thanks.

It is a good hotel close to everything downtown. Great breakfast and open until 10:30 am which is great for those late risers. Would have loved to have it have a pool. Also the balcony is kind of small with no chairs on it to enjoy the fresh air.

We enjoyed our stay at the Embassy Inn. It is conveniently located close to the Inner Harbour and lots of city attractions. The staff were all kind, helpful, and knowledgeable answering questions. The included breakfast had a great selection of hot and cold foods. We will definitely stay again!

Victoria Garden Visit

I was a guest for 5 nights. My bedroom and bath were clean, bed comfortable, quiet, and WiFi was good. Breakfast bar was satisfying with an abundance of options. I am on a trip of several weeks, and it was an amenity to have a clean guest laundry. I had mistakenly double booked one night and the manager was cooperative and helpful in getting me a refund.
