Comfortable Everything was perfect. There was some mixup with ******* where they canceled my reservation because my credit card declined My credit card declined because I had canceled it due to fraud and did not remember to add the new credit card to my ******* account. However, ******* did not notify me that my reservation had been canceled. I called Embassy Suites to confirm my reservation from my departure airport and was informed that it have been canceled by *******. Embassy got me a room thank goodness, however, my original reservation was for two queen beds and upon entering the room I found I have been given a king size one bed. My daughter and I ended up sleeping in the one bedroom. The lady at the omelette kitchen is amazing. She’s very pleasant and fun to be around. The only complaint I have was the lamps that are attached to the wall are coming off. So that kind of ruined some of the room’s aesthetic. The housekeeping staff was amazing the front desk people were amazing. I do, however I think $40 a night for parking is a little steep, especially since the rooms are already very expensive, and the $28 resort fee is a little exceptional as well. Although Embassy does say if you charge something from the restaurant after lunchtime, it will be credited against the $28 a day fee

Pros: The corner room in 17th floor was nice and a nice view. Workers were nice. The breakfast was great. Location 5 minutes drive from my favorite beach Lido beach. The city trolley makes a stop in front of the hotel(if you dont rent a car). The gym is small and simple equipment for a simple workout. Bed is comfortable. Cons: parking $40night (outside parking in the street is free) they charge a $28 restaurant fee per night (if you eat at they're restaurant they will avoid the $28 and just pay what you consume, not many options on the menu, they're dishes are $5 to $6 higher comparing outside restaurants) but that limits you on trying a restaurant outside. Staff not trained properly on how to explain this fee so had a little confusion. Another $25 fee per night is added (stay fee). The swimming pool is very restricted, closing early at 7pm. (A glass window that divides the pool and gym is/was cracked). Internet/wifi access is not free and limited. No free streaming channels access, even we all have these services now days I think adding them is a plus(even I offer them for free in my airbnb rental). Pillows not comfortable.
