This was the last place we booked when the slide cut off access to Big Sur last week. So glad we did. We were going to extend our stay at the garden inn but figured a change of scenery would be good.

Front desk staff were not very friendly and a lady was even rude when I let her know I had lost my key card. I’ve stayed at several embassy suites properties and this is was my worst experience as far as service. Also, the conditioner bottle in the shower was empty. Just a poor experience overall. I hope it’s just this location and not the direction of embassy suites is going.

Absolutely horrible customer service. We will never return here or any other Embassy Suites hotel. We had to move multiple times due to AC not working in our rooms. We did this with 4 children and the manager was not the least bit empathetic and never accepted responsibility. We brought the issue up early in the morning and were told it was resolved. When we returned it turned out the maintenance crew had looked at it for 5 minutes said it was fixed but actually did nothing. By this time we were told we could not get a a refund because it was after 11am and that it was company policy. It feels like they just lied to us long enough to make sure they could take our money.

The staff were all very friendly and proficient, but the facility is showing some wear and age. For good reason, it's a busy hotel with all the right amenities. But the overall facade is getting a bit worn. Corner moulding are falling off. Room carpets stained. Old, thin grout in the shower, toilet flush assembly broken in one bedroom. We had a good stay.

On 2/3, my wife and our three kids went to use the pool at the facility. Upon entering the pool area, I noted a man passed out next to the pool. He looked disheveled and there were towels and empty hard liquors shot bottles next to him. Initially, I thought it was a homeless person who had wandered into the facility. We left the pool area and told staff about the situation. Staff went to check on the man. We went to get a snack. We noticed the man come out from the pool area and he appeared upset. We noticed him throw paper towels against a wall near the hallway into the pool area. The man then disappeared. We waited some time and went back to the pool area. It had been cleaned up and the man was gone. Roughly 10-15 minutes later, my wife started screaming for me to get the kids out of the pool area. Both her and my oldest (6 years old) could see through a glass window into the gym area, where the man (same from the pool) was throwing gym equipment around the room and banging items off the wall. He looked very agitated. I grabbed my youngest (8 months old) while the others followed. The door to the gym shared a common hallway with the door to the pool, so we didn’t know whether the man would be coming into the hallway when we were coming out. We all ran to the front desk and let the front desk clerk know what was going on. My wife and kids were soaking wet and my middle child (3 years old) was screaming and terrified. We were told the man was a guest. We hurried to our room.

Your experience is not indicative of our norm, so I hope that you will consider a return visit. Again, on behalf of our entire team – I offer my apologies. Sincerely, Teri Owens GM

We will return!
It was great! We enjoyed all the complimentary amenities and the friendliness of the staff. Bathroom wasn’t completely clean the way I would have appreciated it to be. Just some areas that had residue of old gunk in the cracks :/ might need to be touched up with re-caulking and scrubbed. Wasn’t going to be picky though because the room overall was great and they even gave me top floor :) Shower was weird… the condensation came up to the ceiling and dripped all the way to the other side of the floor. Probably just the foundation of the building which I understand.
