The breakfast and cocktail hours were amazing. The breakfast buffet lacked meat options, tough for me as a Diabetic, but the omelette station was great and the offer was GOOD! The front desk folks were great. Very friendly and very professional. Very customer focused.

The hotel was out of date and was not up to the standards of the Embassy Suite franchise. I changed rooms twice and 1 time was because I found bugs on the ceiling in shower. If you do choose to stay here, stay away from room 334.
