Jonathan at the front desk was wonderful, every employee we came across was friendly and helpful. Only annoyance was the fact only one out of the three elevators was working..but this did not make or break the stay! The proximity and ease of access to everything makes it worth it!

While they charge $55/day for garage-only one elevator working in garage & hotel!!! Hotel needs a face lift-outdated & dreary. Atrium creates very noisy rooms. Breakfast was decent.

Good location but the property is older and run down. Only one out of the three elevators was operational which caused long waits and crowded rides. The room was outdated, not very clean, and the ac/heater worked only intermittently. It was just ok, not terrible, but I was expecting more from Embassy Suites.

The bathroom in our room was handicap accessible which led to the bathroom floor flooding every time we showered - including water seeping into the carpet in the area outside of the bathroom. This was clearly a regular occurrence bc the carpet was perpetually damp and the room had a musty odor.
