The quiet of the place was peaceful and calm. Soothing for an anxiety driven individual who doesn't do well with situations outside my every day. Valet was extra nice and eager to help. Friendly. Room was well kept and spacious for my get away. I enjoyed my solitude amongst the people. Will be back again for a longer stay next time.

This hotel is always a blast for downtown events. I liked being able to text the front desk for things we might need as well. Staff was easily accessible when needed and helpful and friendly. Was able to change rooms upon checkin to better fit our needs and the front desk worker was never annoyed, very friendly.

Always enjoy staying at the Embassy. The location is great! Walking distance to a good Saturday Farmers Market and restaurants and bars. All staff was great except the breakfast guy making omelets. Thought he was just having a bad day but the second morning he was just as crabby and rude. Property is getting a bit worn but still nice and clean. Can't wait to stay again.

The staff was terrific. The room was not the cleanest. I found 2 bugs! One was alive on the dresser the other was dead in my 'clean' towel. The air only cooled the front room. The humidity in the room was terrible. The property itself was nice. The buffet breakfast was just typical hotel buffet breakfast. Nothing fabulous.

I have stayed here twice and I can say the first time was better different rooms I guess. The room we had was a good size. The bathroom tub was dirty, the air vents were very dirty and the bathroom door wouldn’t close. The beds were hard and the pillows weren’t good at all. Was very disappointed in this stay. Since the first time was so good. That why we came back. After this stay it’ll be hard to go back for sure.
