“GREAT LOCATION”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I think the hotel is ok.....nothing plush about it. Rooms are kinda small. It was clean and had super nice employees. However, the location was absolutely fabulous. There were so many places you could walk to. International Drive is a great place to stay. And the free breakfast was one of the best I have had at a freebie hotel breakfast.

“Great Hotel, Clean Rooms, Slow Elevators.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

I have stayed at several of Embassy's Properties in Orlando before and they have all disappointed me. This one on the other hand was fantasticl! Beds were very comfortable and blackout curtains were great! Location is not that bad either.

PROS:
Spotless
Friendly Staff
Business Center
Workout Room and Pool
Free Breakfast
Big Rooms -- Kingbed AND Couchbed
Full Wetbar! (Not typical in your Embassy Suites)

CONS:
SLOW ELEVATORS! (at least their glass!)
Small Bathroom

I do recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area as it is only about 30 minutes from Disney!

First, love the username! “HiltonHotelFan”… I’m right there with you! Love the pics too! You must have stayed at a few Embassy’s to notice some of our finer points like the larger suite size and the wet bar. We are lucky to have a footprint that has allowed for a larger suite. I love that fact that there are three separate sinks too. I never realize how important a sink is until I travel! Thank you for taking the time to post this great review! We hope you have found your Orlando home!

“Location,Location,Location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel early December 2011 and had a great stay! Rooms were large and comfortable if slightly dated. The curtains closing problem mentioned by other reviewers can be overcome by moving furniture but really is an issue which needs to be attended to by the management. Breakfast was great and the nightly happy hour was another bonus with unlimited drinks, although there were a few one evening who took the hotels hospitality too far!! Location is fantastic and we enjoyed great food at Bahama Breeze, Millers Ale House and Olive Garden without walking any more than a few hundred yards! This was a priority for us as December nightfall is before 6pm. Loads of other great restaurants in the area.

Location is key when picking a hotel. Interesting fact, when this hotel was build there wasn’t much in the area of South International Drive; now it’s the hub of our visitor district. It helps that the Convention Center has grown to one of the largest in the world and a few new neighbors (Sea World and Universal Studios) soon followed Disney’s lead to Orlando. Now we are in the middle of a thriving, safe and fun area with tons to do. I hope you had the Captain Jacks at Ale House! If you missed it, it’s the best dessert around and worth a return trip! Senor Frogs and Dave and Busters are two welcome additions within a two minute walk too! I can go on and on, but what I really need to say is thank you for picking us and thank you for posting this review!

“30th Birthday Party”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We took our daughter and all our family (8 plus a baby) to Embassy Suites to celebrate her 30th. We rented two suites. Arrived at 4 for hot tub time (not very hot) and integrated it with the manager's reception by ordering drinks in plastic cups and transferring them to fun plastic themed goblets. The ladies wore black dresses with pearls to dinner and guys dressed up, too. Ordered Outback specials and sent one person to pick them up so we could eat in the hotel's beautiful atrium. We set up and decorated tables in the atruium with black table cloths, pearls, pink and black balloons and red petals. After dinner we cleaned up any messes and went to downtown Orlando on Church Street to the Dessert Lady and the younger crowd went to Ceviche's and a rooftop club at the Amway Center. The next morning we met for the complementary breakfast at 9:30 and some pool time for the baby before checking out. The Embassy Suites was wonderfully accommodating. Comments from the guests included, "this is a kick-butt birthday party!" and "it is so much fun to come into a big city." Another amazing time at the Embassy Suites which is far and away our favorite hotel!

The only problem is my invite must have been lost in the mail. Sounds like a fun party! Unfortunately, some guests don't make the short trip downtown to experience some of the culture of Orlando! If you get the opportunity, check out a game or show at Amway; there is absolutely not an arena in the country like it!

Thanks for celebrating with us and have a "Suite" Day!
