Prior to arrival, I called twice because I needed to arrive a day early for work. Both times I was assured my reservation had been updated and that I was good to go. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was told the exact opposite. Because I booked through Expedia, the front desk said there was nothing they could do, and I was forced to pay for an additional night out of pocket. This was frustrating and completely avoidable with accurate communication. The parking situation was another mess. We were told valet was $50 or we could self-park across the street — but no one mentioned that the garage was city parking with separate fees. When we parked there, the attendant was extremely rude and accused us of lying about being directed there by the hotel, saying we “obviously didn’t know what we were doing.” Not exactly the welcome you want after traveling. The room itself felt outdated, dark, and underwhelming. The only bright spot was the breakfast, which was actually very nice. Overall, the experience was frustrating and not what I expect from Embassy Suites.

This hotel is an absolute dump. It’s on its last legs. It’s obvious they haven’t done any maintenance or upgraded soft goods or furniture in years. And they’re incredibly nonchalant about it. Very aware of the difficulties with the rooms. Black mold, thread worn, carpets, dirty bathrooms, tiles falling off the wall walls ceilings falling in broken windows. When I spoke to the front desk, they said they’re not spending any money on the hotel because they’re getting ready to make it a curio collection by Hilton. But it’s obvious that the Bennett who owned the hotel built a luxury hotel next-door and just ignored this property for years. It’s a dump! Do not stay here. Do not stay here. Do not stay here unless you don’t care about your health. Toothpaste on the walls toothpaste on the floors fixture is falling out of the shower. It’s a mess!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed at several Embassy Suites, and this one is well below brand standard. Its a great location, but I would not stay here again until at least the rooms have been renovated...my room was very musty, and the furnishings are very tired. On the plus side, the valets have some parking to play with, so it is superior to the other downtown hotels if you are someone who drives and dislikes the hassles of curbside valet.
