“Hot Rooms, Rude Bar Staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Newly opened Embassy, was a Crowne Plaza before and should have stayed that. Room was clean and large, front desk staff friendly. The problems started when we went down to Manager Reception. Bartender was Russian I think? an older fellow, he ignored us for all of five minutes even though the area was not busy at all, when we ordered our usual White Zin wine he abruptly told us it was not available. I asked if it was not served on Mgt Recpt or they did not carry it? he answered he was not allowed to serve it, and he was NOT nice about it at all, WHAT? has to be the only Embassy out of the many we stay at that does not serve this wine. Our solution was to retrive our own bottle we had brought with us and carry it into the bar area and have our own Mgr Recpt with our wine.
Next, the room was a little stuffy when we arrived, we assumed the maid had turned the AC warmer, so we turned the AC colder and left for drinks, dinner etc returning about 9:30, room still abit stuffy and warm, so we again lowered the temp. Well to make a long story short, room temp never got lower than 78 degrees and for sleeping not comfortable. Did not report to front desk, because at 11:00 PM no one wants the repair guy fixing the AC even if they had a repair guy to fix the AC. Heard other guests complaining about hot rooms also.
Breakfast was not a great affair either, this hotel is just not designed as most Embassys are and Breakfast is a strange set up, not much variety like at other locations.
Did not care for the location as it is a business area with few places to eat unless you like fast food. We definately would NOT stay here again even if they gave us a FREE Room.

Room Tip: Im not sure there are any good rooms. The rooms are clean and quiet, just hot and stuffy

Dear CovertCritic,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our hotel. We appreciate your business.. Just wanted to take the time to let you know I have worked closely with the Restaurant manager and the bar staff to improve our customer service. Thank you for your concern, we have re-investigated our Embassy Standards. We have found that one white wine and one red wine, which is Cabernet and Chardonnay is to be served at the Manager's Reception. I do apologize for any inconvenience. I am also working close with my engineer department, to ensure that all guest rooms air conditioning is properly working. We also have a shuttle that runs to city place, which has thirty different restaurants. Please come visit us again, if you’re in the area. Thanks again for feedback and choosing our Embassy Suites .

Best Regards,
Jay Badillo

“Nice place to stay, usually in route”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Spent a couple of nights there with my family. Rates at Embassy Suites especially with AAA or AARP are an excellent value. Oceanfront resorts are higher priced. Stayed for two nights right before Christmas with my family. Full American Buffet Breakfast and evening reception are included in the room price, and a business center with internet access is a plus too.

Room Tip: N/A believe all are more of less equal

“Not going to stay again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

I am an HHonors member and stay exclusively at Hilton Hotels every week. Hilton might want to send someone to this location to teach the staff the words "CUSTOMER SERVICE". Everyone was rude from the front desk to housekeeping. As a HHonors member I am entitled to certain perks but not here, not even a bottle of water. Being the whole staff acts like they could care less about anything it must come from the management. What a shame.

“Not up to Embassy Suites Standards”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

Customer Service was terrible! The Manager's reception ran out of wine 10 minutes into the reception and they were terribly rude about the situation. Our room was not up to Embassy Suites Standards! When I mentioned the tiles falling off the wall in the shower, I was met with a rude response from the front desk individual. There were NO TOWELS in the pool area and again were rude and did not respond when I inquired. The location is close to the airport however, for my next visit I will travel a little further to get better quality. I would NOT recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: The quality of this hotel is NOT up to Embassy Suites Standards. Tiles falling off wall and staff w...

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

Great proximity to the airport. This hotel has clean and large rooms that are great to stay for the night. The Manager's reception in the evenings were a nice way to relax and eat some snacks. The breakfast was great with the cooked to order omelets. Atrium is very large and a relaxing place to eat. Pool and fitness centers are suitable.
