Amenities were great. Excellent breakfast- much more than usual at hotels. Staff was very friendly and clean rooms. Withing walking distance to everything
The room was clean, spacious, and well-kept. The place felt comfortable and relaxing, which made our stay enjoyable. The price was very affordable compared to other hotels, making it a great option for travelers who want comfort without spending too much. I would gladly stay here again.
Very impressed with our stay at Embassy Inn. Friendly check in, quick response to an issue with the safe in our room, spotless and comfortable room, great walkable location, convenient onsite parking, and a good selection and choice at breakgast. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
