"My mom, sister, and I have stayed at this hotel the last 2 times we have had our girl's day. Quick check in, friendly, close to everything. There were waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs, ham, yogurt, etc for the breakfast (and cappucino!). The pool was empty in the morning, so we were able to enjoy our relaxing morning in the hot tub together. Another great stay!"

"Always enjoy staying at the Embassy. The location is great! Walking distance to a good Saturday Farmers Market and restaurants and bars. All staff was great except the breakfast guy making omelets. Thought he was just having a bad day but the second morning he was just as crabby and rude. Property is getting a bit worn but still nice and clean. Can't wait to stay again."
