| - I'm usually a fan of the Embassy Suites. Now I'm really not so sure.
Most nights they have the manager's reception, where you get drinks and snacks. They do it here as well, but they've really cut back (we've been once before). Where they used to have hot dogs, nachos and tacos, they now have a couple of bins of snack mix and some stale popcorn, as well as someone circling the area with cold appetizers from the restaurant.
You're also allowed to only have two drinks per room. This is a stark departure from the days when the Embassy would let you have pretty much whatever you could hold during the whole process. On the upside, they do have a Wii plugged into an old projection television that you can barely see.
Once you're in the room, you'll find that they didn't insulate very well, so you can hear everything. Pipes banging, neighbors doing what neighbors do, people above you using the restroom, it's really bad. One of the worst hotels for noise that I've ever used, and I've even stayed in what seemed to be an old crack house in New York City before.
While this location seems nice, and even offers balcony rooms, I'd suggest not springing for them. Just a few dollars more, you can get a balcony on the back side of the hotel that "overlook the golf course". What the really means is that you get to see the roof of the building just a few floors below, some trees and you get some really bright spotlights flooding your room at all hours of the night (really - I don't think they ever go off). On the other side of the treeline, there is a golf course. I think. I don't care if it's a quarter, it's not worth the extra money. I don't think it's even worth it if it's a free upgrade.
The one place I will give them a decent mark is in the complimentary breakfast. The crew manning the omelet station specifically was very friendly and did a great job. Unfortunately, the rest of the breakfast bar wasn't good at all. Trays were running low, juice was running out, and overall it was just a bit sad.
On one other note - they do accept pets here. But you have to pay extra for that room (apparently you get a mat, and they will supply you with bowls if you forgot them). But that's it. And you have to pay a $50 non-refundable security deposit.
They also offer access to the Internet - both wired and wireless - but you have to be $10 a day for it. So if I were you, I'd wait until the Great Wolf opens across the street, and see if things get better, because this place is just sad.
