Nice place to stay. The location is great if you’re taking the ferry from Washington. It’s a 5 minute walk from the terminal. Breakfast was good, with lots of options.

For a bit of an outdated looking exterior, the Embassy Inn was clean and updated on the inside. Beautiful, clean rooms, friendly staffand one of the jicest continental breakfasts I've ever experienced. The locatiin was great in Victoria's Inner Harbour, and across the street from the Parlament building. While Parking was only $15 for a one night stay,we weren't expecting a fee at all, as i recall, it said it was free, when searching online. Overall, it was a great hotel and i would stay there again in the future!

I booked the hotel based on other reviews of their breakfast. It is better than most breakfasts I have enjoyed in the past eg: scrambled eggs included green onions and spinach, latte machine and whip and berries for the DIY waffles. It was well managed with friendly staff. It also included high chairs which was ideal for me and my 8 month old. Check in was easy, the room was updated and lovely. The building and halls are older, but if you look past that, it was a 5 star experience. Thank you for taking great care of me and my little guy.
