We were booked into the Embassy for two days of meetings in late June. I used the computer kiosk to check-in but there were plenty of staff at the front desk as well. By using the kiosk, I was able to pick a room from open inventory which, while not my first choice, met my needs and was available immediately. Unless there is a line at the front desk, I think that checking in with a person is actually faster. The staff was helpful and eager to please throughout my stay. The suites were of good size and in good repair. The beds were very comfortable as well. I was unable to connect to the internet while there but that was not a huge deal as we had little free time. There were a few cardio machines in the small exercise room which adjoins the pool and whirlpool. While compact, it was uncrowded and well kept with a small outdoor patio just beyond. There is no place one can walk to but, if you are without a car as I was, the hotel shuttle will take you to downtown St. Charles where you can stroll. I normally prefer a place where you can walk to restaurants and such. Still, given some of the places that our company hosts functions, I was really happy with the hotel and, if I found myself in St. Charles again, I would stay at the Embassy Suites.
