Usually, I love Embassy Suites, for two obvious reasons. Happy Hour and Made to Order Breakfast. So I chose this hotel, as I had an early flight out of town the next morning, and it was less than 2 miles from the airport.
I also usually like the rooms at the Embassy Suites, but this is a very old hotel, and the rooms don't have a good feel to them. I got to experience the shabby infrustructure first hand. I discovered right away that the toilet in my room didn't flush properly.
I had a 3 AM wake-up call for an early flight the next morning, so yes, I was in bed early. But I was awakened by repeated pounding on my door. I finally got up to see what was going on, but whoever it was was gone. 2 minutes later, my phone rang. It was the front desk asking if they could gain access to my room to check out if a leak in the room below me was coming from broken pipes in my room. I explained I was already asleep and they said never mind.
About 10 minutes later, there was a bang, bang, bang, of maintenance working on the pipes. So much for a decent night's sleep. And I thought that's what you're supposed to do at a hotel.
On the positive side, the Happy Hour was nice. It's a nice roomy bar area. Also, if you have to leave before breakfast, there is a 24 hour IHOP right next door.
Bottom line. I MIGHT stay there again because of the perks, but it is my least favorite Embassy property I have ever stayed at.

First let me apologize for disturbing your nights sleep, this was an emergency has we experienced a water leak inside the walls that connect the plumbing to each room. Unfortunately room below yours was flooding and my maintenance staff had to check all the rooms above. The banging was from them opening the wall to stop the flooding.
We are an older Embassy Suites and from time to time have conditions that happen unexpectedly.
The hotel is currently in the planning stages for a complete renovation in the near future.
Happy to hear you enjoy our Happy Hour service and atrium area.
Thank you for your comments
