10/10 Excellent
"My family and I absolutely loved the location of the hotel. Amenities were good and the price was fair. I will say that I wished my room was less dusty. The headboards and lamp areas were too dusty. I could see the dusty flying under the light. Bedding, the thicker blanket looked dirty. Perhaps wash it or replace it. Air conditioning worked great and staff were kind. Thanks"

"Embassy Suites did not disappoint. The rooms were nice and spacious. There was a strand or two of hair in our bathtub but that wasn't too bad. The breakfast was lovely. They have plenty options for everyone. They offer drink tickets for each guest during happy hour. The ambiance was pretty lively during our stay. The front desk wasn't the most welcoming or attentive but they did their job. I wasn't told any details about the property upon check-in (usually included in most hotel check-ins) like where common amenities were, breakfast time, wifi pw, check out time etc., but all that was figured out along the way. They have a small indoor pool and no hot tub but I would stay here again."

"Clean room. Good facilities. Location is fine for local transport. Only one close restaurant which is ok. Breakfast very good Didn’t use the pool as jucuzzi not working. The outlook was disappointing as the image of the room shows boats in the marina. This marina is now empty and a bit of an eyesore. Our room wasn’t cleaned one day and we don’t know why"
