For the owners/manager’s info

We are generally not fussy travelers, but you should know that the particular room we stayed in (317) was not like others in the hotel (shown in Hotels.com). We like older hotels and understand the difficulty in maintaining them, The bathroom however had been repaired in a manner that showed no attempt to maintain the classic look. There were holes all over the tile and big, messy smears of white filler over the green tile. Also the tv stand was broken and the bed had no headboards (although the mattresses were comfy). Note — the lower “cleanliness” score was for the smell in the halls and room. The room was perfectly clean but had a stronger odor than most older hotels (but we know it is hard to mask the odors that old hotels accrue). Thank for a generally lovely stay and nice staff. I offer this feedback ONLY so you can improve for others. David

Great staff

Great staff and hotel, just research the area a little before you go exploring, towards the civic centre is fine but the other way is definitely confronting. I really liked the staff here.

I booked my stay at the embassy hotel for two days, the rooms and lobby looked decent until I actually arrived. Walking up to the hotel I saw a couple drug addicts overdosing. When I walked into the hotel lobby to speak to the front desk person his mood was very dry. He gave us the key to the room, walking through the hallway I noticed everything looked old and run down. Once we got into our room the first thing that hit me was a strong foul odor of urine. The beds looked dingy and badly stained, the walls were very thin so you could easily hear the neighbors conversation. My wife and I were already tired from our flight but couldn’t stomach the smell so we checked out within 45min after our arrival.
