Great time, would stay there again!
Pros:

Location, the interior of the hotel lobby and restaurant floor, the roof top bar and the complimentary drinks in the early evening were great.

Cons:

Did not love the couch in our room ( not comfortable). Also, the bathroom door rubbed on the floor then slammed shut when you tried to close it.

Cleaning crew could use a little more training.
Pros:

Room was dirty their were hairs in the bath tub. Microwave and refrigerator were filthy. There was 2 types of medication on the floor. The bathroom floor was dirty as well as the bedroom floor. Waited for housekeeper to come finally went to find housekeeper asked for the vacuum and recleaned the room myself. I stay at Embassy solely for the breakfast it was terrible. I didnt even go after the 1st morning. I was really disappointed in the stay based off of the cost and what Im used to at Hilton hotels.

Cons:

Cleanliness and treatment the following day from cleaning lady.

I always love staying here , but the room I got wasn’t a good one one
Pros:

Location by riverfront and battleship

Cons:

My room was room 202 and my view for four nights was terrible all I could see is boiler room type pipes ( big white pipes) terrible for what I paid for . My room wasn’t the cleanest upon arrival and the refrigerator didn’t get cold .. air conditioner went a little warm as well . One vent blew out warm air . I also requested a higher floor because I always like to stay on the higher floors but yet I got the second floor ..young man cooking in the kitchen wasn’t friendly at all can work on customer service..

Nice but Hot
Pros:

Room was nice, clean and spacious. Staff was welcoming & friendly.

Cons:

Our room wasn't ready until 5pm, an hour after check-in, they gave us free parking at the deck, which was fine. Our room was 76 degrees when we got in, we turned the thermastat down to 68 - to cool it off while we went to dinner, Yes, we knew it was 100 degrees but we were on the 3rd floor not the top floor and we were on the side that the was not getting the sunset, We get back to the room and the tempature has not moved, we called the front desk they sent maintance, the first maintance person reset the unit, and said if it didn't start to cool down to call back. We called again at 9:30pm still on 76, and they sent maintance again, this time the person did the same thing and said he would be back shortly, he was gone about 15 minutes and came back to the room and saw the tempature still had not changed and did something else and said he would be back again. We waited again, and he never came back, by this point we were all tired, it is after 11:30pm and ready for bed. We knew that the hotel was full and there was no way we could get another room. When we woke up the temp had finally gotten down to 73, and we assumed it was because there was no sun. When we discussed with the front desk at check out, he told us should have been happy with 73 because it was so hot outside. (Not the nicest person at the desk) I had to explain again that we called twice for maintance and the room was still at 76 when we went to bed. Even though I felt like they should have done more, they gave 10% back. (Oh and just a note, that this room has an access to the roof through the closet and you can see the outside light all the way around the door, so it isn't sealed well either...and heat could come in that way as well.) I have stayed here before and loved it, that's why I stayed again, and brought family, this time I was disappointed.

It was ok other than than that, just look at the room before you unpack
Pros:

The happy hour and the river view

Cons:

I was first in a room on the 5th floor, and the bathroom didn’t look clean, look like blood was splashed on the sink, floor and cabinet. So I requested to be moved and then they moved me to a room down the hall and the mattress was soft and worn out in 518. I hope they replace that mattress and box spring after this review
