9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
I last stayed at this particular Embassy about 10 years ago. At the time it had just been completely remodeled. I can tell it hasn't been remodeled or uploaded since. The lounge & dining areas were fine but our bedroom was very outdated. The furniture looked old and the bathroom was the worst, with rusted fixtures and shower walls with stained tiles. I should also note, I stayed the day before Thanksgiving through Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Prior to picking this hotel I called and asked if all services would be available with it being a holiday. The receptionist told me they would be, however upon check in we learned there would be NO HOUSEKEEPING AT ALL on Thanksgiving Day. I stay at Embassys often but this will be my last time staying at this particular location. I do not recommend this location
