The mattress to the sofa bed was not clean and it was old. There were a few things under the sofa, that were there from previous customers. Breakfast was ok but the pancake machine was not working.

Upon arriving, the lady at the front desk was not very welcoming and rude. I asked if early check in was possible and she gave me such an attitude. A simple no early check in would have been fine without the attitude. The vent light above the stove in the kitchen wasn’t working. I wanted to leave it on in case any of us needed light to go use the bathroom during the night. The vent from the portable AC to the window kept falling off so it kept leaving the window slightly open and since we were in a room with lots of traffic passing by, I was awaken by the garbage truck early in the morning. When my family and I went to get breakfast, I felt like the lady working the breakfast station was keeping a close eye on us and felt the need to clean up right after every scoop of food I got. I felt no space from her.

From the moment we arrived, this did not feel like an Embassy Suites. The lobby looked rundown, and both check-in staff we encountered were rude and distracted. The elevator carpet was filthy, which made us worry about cleanliness. The room was only okay and clearly needed a deep clean. The bed was uncomfortable, and the shower pressure was extremely weak. We would not stay here again and will reconsider booking with this hotel brand in the future.

The breakfast menu had options but the pancake maker was out of service for several days while we were there. The food quality also wasn't great (floppy bacon, half-warmed sausage). The employees were very kind in the breakfast area, however. The man at the front desk seemed miserable to be there. He didn't tell us about any amenities - pool, breakfast times, wifi, etc. Just where the building area was where we were staying. We also had to go ask for towels, bedsheets and blankets because they were "short on room service." Our family enjoyed the pool and hot tub, but generally, I'm not sure we would go back.
