Everything was very nice over all. The gentleman who checked us in on Sunday Feb 15th was absolutely amazing, friendly and offered a lot of information on options around town. Our restaurant waitress made a positive impression on us and was very friendly. The breakfast food and selection was one of the best we've had on our stays. The only negative bump in the road was the breakfast omelette chief on Monday morning seemed to be bothered that he was on duty and a general bad attitude towards us ordering our omelette.

Everything about the stay was great. Staff in their Steam restaurant at the bar were fantastic. Great service, even during an accidental fire alarm. Breakfast was solid, the cook was terrific. Only complain was the pillows. Not joking, they were way too fluffy, super annoying.

First time staying in this hotel and I have to say is my favorite! Here are the things I love, friendly staff, pet friendly, room was huge!, modern, CLEAN and the river view was beautiful. They have the valet parking option or park yourself (super close), free breakfast and also offer 2 free drinks ;) They have a restaurant on site (also with a nice river view), and a rooftop but it was close for the season. The hotel is locate it at walking distance to downtown’s shops and restaurants. I will definitely come back but this time with my dogs.

Excellent stay overall. My main complaint is terrible water pressure in the shower. I assume this is Embassy Suites policy for all their hotels, so I in no way blame this particular property. Staff couldn’t be friendlier or more efficient. Facility is super-clean. Without a doubt I would recommend.
