I often stay at Embassy Suites - by choice. They are consistency quiet, comfortable, and I love the happy hour and hot made-to-order breakfast. This ES had a better lobby than most (see the pic). The lobby had a turn in it and had a color scheme and landscaping that were striking. A number of the ES I have stayed in had a chlorine odor in the lobby area - this one did not - a plus. The room was as I expected - roomy and a wonderfully comfortable bed. For 2008 a bonus - wide screen LCD TVs. Though the TVs were not carrying high definition shows that I could find, so a little wasted, but still welcome.
Happy hour had some better beers (a wheat beer and ale) than most ES. But this one lacked the variety of snacks I've come to expect as well. The breakfast was good as usual, but I and others noticed the coffee wasn't quite as good (rich and flavorful) as we had come to expect. Free parking - always a plus. Being charged about $10 a day for internet from a hotel like ES seems a ripoff - I don't like that.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Directed me to a wonderful and delicious Puerto Rican restaurant downtown - "Sol Food" - Its the real thing and amazing! Get there for dinner.
We tried the hotel restaurant for lunch one day. They had a very reasonably priced buffet and the food was worth recommending. We did so and got a group to go back - and there was no buffet that day! Disappointed, we ordered off the slightly pricey menu. The food was very good, but not quite the value.
