As I arrived to the hotel for the Humana Challenge, hotel lobby well appointed, welcomed as I approached the front desk, answers about local events and dinner was answered without hesitation. Beware of room service. It would serve them well if they knew the soup or dinner of the day without using the phrase....uuumm I think so. NO thought involved. When the daughter ask for a PBJ and the response is "we have no peanut butter" yet they have it for the breakfest buffet in the morning, really screams I don't give a [--] about service or my job. Area around the hotel was lovely. Del Taco just across the street, many restaurants both local and nationally are within 5-10 minutes away. 4 movie screen surrounded by shopping near by. Best part about the hotel. Monday, just before I left for the airport, daughter wanting scrabbled eggs and pancakes, we went back down for the hotel buffet. They served waffles on the weekend, but this morning they served freshly made pancakes. She was smiling the entire time, I must say, in all of my travels, the pancakes were the fluffy-est most fantastic I or my daughter have ever had.........smiling all the way back to Texas......

endless_summer1966,
I would like to thank you for posting a review of our hotel! Reviews serve an important purpose for us in that they help us identify what we are doing well, but also what we may be doing that needs improvement. It appears that you experienced a combination of both.
I was glad to read that your overall stay with us was enjoyable. It looks like from the start, our staff was very welcoming and helpful, which is an important part of a great hotel stay.
I do want to sincerely apologize for the experience you had with our room service. I was very surprised to read that you encountered these problems, but I can assure you that this is not a normal occurrence. Our Food & Beverage Director has been made aware of this so he may investigate and resolve the issues that caused this poor service.
Again, thank you for this great review. We really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and we hope that you return again to enjoy some delicious pancakes!
Sincerely,
Front Office Manager
Embassy Suites of Palm Desert, CA
