The neighborhood is a little scary, and the rooms definitely need a little updating when compared to other Embassy Suites locations. There is one thing that makes this location awesome....the complimentary breakfast. The guy they have cooking is AWESOME. To be fair, we only stayed two nights, so we didn't get to know everything about the hotel. Another plus, they do allow pets, if you happen to have them. But, that may be the reason for the outdated decor.
