Visitor Review:

I can not even begin to say how much we loved this hotel!

I own a travel agency and am always looking for nice, reasonably priced accommodations to send clients pre cruise and in terms of getting the most bang for your buck value this property by far has the competition beat hands down!

There are several packages you can select when booking at the Embassy Suites including a cruise package which includes transfers via a shuttle to the port. We however decided to utilize a town car service the hotel also can contract with and what a lovely way that was to start and end a cruise. For only seven dollars per person (plus tip) you can be picked up at the hotel and driven to the port in a spacious town car and the price was the same to go from the port to the airport. So much nicer than a cab or a shuttle!

Ok on to the hotel itself. The property has recently been renovated and everything is bright clean with a “fresh look” about it. We were in a business suite on the 12th floor which comprised of a living/dining area a separate bedroom with full bath and then an additional meeting room with a half bath. I would highly recommend getting this type of suite if you have a lot of luggage! It was great to pile our things in the separate room and not be falling all over them. The extra half bath was also a big plus.

The suite itself is very nice; it was decorated in all new high quality fabrics and was as clean as can be. I did the “bare foot test” right away on all the carpeting. (Washed my feet in the bathroom and then scuffled through out the suite and returned to the bathroom to rewash my feet on the white face cloth) not a speck of dirt showed up! That alone would make me recommend the hotel! There is nothing more disturbing to me than walking on a filthy carpet. There were two large flat screen TV’s one in the bedroom and one in the living area. For families traveling with children this is idea so that there is no arguing over what show to watch. Our son slept in the living room on the pull out couch and said it was quite comfortable. We took the king bed in the other room and I must say it was blissful, there was a bottom duvet or feather bed type of covering over the mattress that just made you want to snuggle up and never leave. The bed was a true king with lots of room, unlike many hotels who try to pass off a queen as a king and a double as a queen. Client comfort was defiantly a priority at the embassy suites. (Rooms are also available with two queens)

The bathroom was immaculate and was equipped with some nice amenities including a real hair dryer (I so dislike those wall mounted little blowers) there was also a bidet in the bathroom which my husband got quite a kick out of. (Not sure if he ever tried it) In the bedroom area there is also a wet bar which comes in very handy when you have three people all wanting to wash their faces and brush teeth.

The living room had a large couch, and a very comfortable easy chair and lots of leg room. The dining area there was made up of nice table along with a “kitchenette” which was comprised of a refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. It would be very easy to spend a many days at the hotel and be quite comfortable. Each evening there is a free manager’s reception with snacks and open bar (as well as soda) and a great hot cooked to order breakfast buffet is also part of the hotel package. Certainly a very good value for the price of a hotel room!

Other areas of note are the nice gym area with state of the art equipment all with flat panel televisions to watch while working out. The atrium was beautiful with waterfalls and Koi ponds as well as a free internet kiosk for guests to use. The pool area is quite lovely with another waterfall as well as a Jacuzzi near by. If we had arrived sooner in the day I would have most definitely utilized it. There is also an on site restaurant and gift shop.

One last thing to note was how gracious all the staff we encountered were. Everyone had a smile on their face and was happy to help you out. They were not aware that I was a travel agent or that I would be review this site for my own clients. The best summation was when I was in the gift shop and the gentleman that worked there was raving to me what a great place it was to work. Happy employees make happy guests! I will definitely be sending my clients here! To see detailed photos of the hotel you can visit my photo album here
