Not sure where to start really. The room was dated and smelly. The bathroom had what appeared to be bloodstains on the floor, the shower reminded me of a shower from Prisoner Cell Block H. The corridors were dark and dingy. It looks like this place has not had a lick of paint since it was built in the 1930's.... more

Nice service. FREE PARKING THROUGH EXPEDIA. DID I SAY FREE PARKING. How many times have we all stayed in a big city hotel and thought we were getting a deal only to find that we had to pay another $30 plus tips for parking. And this parking is fenced. King bed. Fine. A little hard. But fitted sheets! Small TV.... more

My friends and I were in the city for a concert at AT&T park. We made the reservation for this room a week prior to the concert because we werent sure of our plans. anyways cut to the chase. We paid 120 for the dirtiest smelliest most beat up room possible. Nothing worked. It was missing the refrigerator and the... more

Omg!! I cannot believe that Wyndam Vacation Resorts had the audacity to give this hotel away for a FREE 3 day/2night stay!! I regret with every fiber in me that I didn't pay $99 for an upgrade to another hotel!!! Let me start by saying that when the airport shuttle dropped us off at the hotel, he had to ask,... more

Checked in and checked out within 15 minutes. The adjacent room was playing loud rap music with pounding bass. After complaining to fromt desk nothing was done, just given the option to move to a different room. That and the poor conditions, old bathroom and stained carpets, we repacked the car and got out of there to go to the... more

I stayed here for 2 weeks for business. This place looked like it was terrific 50 years ago. It is not in a great neighborhood and good luck finding a place to eat nearby. The room was in decent shape but dated. The bathroom was not great, the shower stall was tiny and needed to be re-tiled. It has a... more

My wife and I stayed here pretty much by accident -- Expedia told us that we were going to be staying at "Embassy Suites"! Since we've stayed at an Embassy Suites before, and liked it, we were considerably disappointed when we found out that there were no "Suites" in the name. That being said, we were pleased by this hotel.... more

My mother, sister and I needed a one-night room to attend my sister's graduation from culinary school. We searched our usual haunts (I've been to SF about 14 times in the last 18 months) but the prices were so high, I couldn't make it work. My sister then told us about The Embassy as it is where the culinary students... more

My vehicle was broken into while parked in the "gated" lot. No response from staff or management. Absolutely shameful. The showers were slightly worse than one might expect in an average hostile. Night was very loud with noise from both the street and the room above. more
