Our room felt "wet" for our 2 night stay. The floor, chairs, couch etc. Cocktail hour & breakfast were fantastic as usual. Will be signing up to be a Hilton member. Room was nice & big, with 3 kids that helps a lot.

Mom and daughter time

May 20 year-old daughter and I like to get together at hotels about 6 to 9 times a year. I grew up loving the Embassy suites and so I took her there this time overall it was great.

Love ES but needs freshening up!

We LOVE Embassy Suites…but, the mattresses were *really bad* in our room. Also, everything seems a little “old” (nicks, wear and water stains on the furniture, stains on carpeting, rusted pool chairs, etc). It just doesn’t seem fresh. Of course, there’s a ROI when spending money on all new furniture and carpeting, etc. Embassy suites is our favorite chain-it fits our family perfectly and we travel a lot. They all just seem a little rundown. The staff was amazing-very friendly and accommodating. We love the manager’s reception and the breakfast (but no biscuits and gravy?!-maybe that was for the best for me…) PLEASE don’t let this hotel run into the ground. We do truly love it.
