Let me start with a disclaimer: Since I Priceline in Beachwood and almost always get either the Embassy or Hilton for $50ish, it slants my perspective on the overall value of the property. I have to say that if I was paying full price it would probably be 2 stars but for the price I paid, it's a little better, of course.
This Embassy, and the concept for that matter, is dated and needs refreshing. The decor is from the 80's or early 90's. The breakfast is fine and the cocktail hour is okay too, but it's still very 'Embassy.'
The pillows aren't much and the room is in average condition overall. The location is good if you're into Beachwood.
I'm staying here again soon...at $47. But at full price? I'd pick something else.
