Front desk person, Robert, was AMAZING! He checked us in and was there during check out. He was courteous, professional, informative, and had outstanding customer service skills. Thank you, Robert, for making our stay a great one!
Great stay! Staff is very helpful and friendly . The amenities and accommodations are perfect for families! However the shower had hair from the previous guest. I would absolutely stay there again, and just ask to be moved to another room if I encounter hair in the shower again.
Having stayed in Hilton properties all over the world the San Rafael Embassy Suites was one of the very best We'd ever stayed in. The restaurant and breakfast was perfect. The staff were warm and welcoming.
The gym was really nice and the breakfast is great with custom-made omelettes. Super nice staff. The room needed some updating, it was a bit worn, but overall the property is really great.
The room was neat. There were some technical difficulties with the doors and the pool heater. The staff in the kitchen and bar were so nice and helpful. They were on top of bringing fresh food during breakfast and snack time.
Robert at the front desk was amazing!!! This is what customer service looks like! He made everything so smooth, and check in for my daughter and daughter n law was effortless, 10/10 definitely worth every cent and will be returning. Lastly but definitely not least the cleaning staff and all working so hard to make food for everyone a big thank you! Especially , housekeeper Monica for going above and beyond to help my daughter with what she needed . Highly recommended it
It was a nice stay. Staff were cool and the room was spacious and nice. A couple of dirty spots here and there but it wasn’t too bad.

Great staff. Rooms comfortable but beginning to show some wear. Coffee machine location not functional
Parking lot was extremely dirty throughout our visit and not cleaned up once. Cups, cans, food containers. Bad 1st impression.
