Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked into out first room and the bathtub facet was broken and laying in the bathtub. Went to the front desk and waited 30 minutes to get another room. Had to call the front desk to have them turn off the heat. stuck on 78 and they had to send maintenance to change the vents around to let cool air in the room. Breakfeast the waffles were frozen. I have stayed in many Embassy Suites and was so disappointed in this one. What a terrible stay.

The only major issue we had was with the shuttle. A desk position employee and the actual driver of the shuttle told us they would be running until 11:00 PM- then at 10:15 when our concert was over we called for a ride back to the hotel only to be told the shuttle stopped at 9:00. The couch & furniture are also in need of an update- other than that we enjoyed our stay and the staff was very helpful & friendly.$

It was great for our plans. We walked to a fun place for dinner and there were were several options. We then walked to the civic center where our event was. The hotel was really nice and very reasonable. The suite was bigger than expected compared to other hotels I have stayed in.

I got charged for something we did not order and when I try to clear things up, it was a nightmare. Finally got it resolved though!! Someone charged a meal and a drink to our room and signed for it, but it was clearly not our signature, but they tried to argue with us and say we did it!! I Suggested that from now on, they asked what name is on the room and make the person verify it. It’s too easy to charge somebody else’s room for something!!
