Excellent, especially for the price

Super spacious and comfortable. I had an economy room, but it felt luxurious, with two TVs, one in a front room that looked to be designed for meetings or just relaxing. (That room had just one dim light, too dark for me.) Friendly service and helpful check-in. The lobby/restaurant area is huge and airy, pleasant to walk around. Good food at the restaurant! Also appreciated free snacks at the happy hour

The hotel was clean and well-maintained, with a good breakfast and friendly staff, including the reception team and bartenders. However, there were a few issues I’d like to mention. The lotion bottle in the bathroom was completely empty, and the housekeeping staff should ensure all amenities are replenished when they clean the room. Additionally, the lobby restroom lacked soap, and the men’s restroom was out of service, which was inconvenient. Another major concern was the atmosphere in the lobby. The hotel placed a foosball table and a small billiards table there, allowing guests to play until 10 p.m. While this might be enjoyable for some, it created a loud and disruptive environment. We had hoped to relax in the lobby with drinks and dinner, but a group of guests was playing loudly, shouting, and laughing excessively. The noise level was overwhelming, making it impossible to enjoy our time. Eventually, we decided to leave and dine elsewhere to escape the chaos. Having stayed at several Embassy Suites locations, I have never encountered a setup like this in the lobby. While happy hour already tends to generate noise, adding games only amplified the disturbance. Unfortunately, this negatively impacted our overall experience, and we were quite disappointed with the lobby ambiance.

Good value for the money, great beds.$$parking.

Embassy suites is a great place to get rest and have space. The breakfast is excellent and adds value. The beds are SUPER comfortable and the rooms are quiet. There are a few downsides for us. The hot tub is gone but the information on hotels.com says they have one. The pool is indoors and nice but WAY too cold to enjoy. We asked for it to be tirned up and were told no flatly. Also, the lighting in the room is VERY dim. No light at the vanity or a plug for hair styling. The living space is extremely dim and the fixtures are large, inefficient and weird looking. No soap or sponge for the sink, but there was a small fridge and microwave. Also, only one chair for the table, the other was small and low and only one end table next to the couch. The reataurant was way too expensive, like its trying to be fine dining, but the tables are asort of cafeteria vibe. There are plenty of great food options nearby though. One big negayve was 15 dollars a day for parking. Its out in an open area, didn't seem to have security and the cost felt completely unnecessary. All in all, it was an excellent stay for a decent price and good value. We may not stay again because of the cold pool and misisng hot tub though. Super bummed because the area is great and its 25 minutes to san francisco.
