I chose this hotel based strictly on location--I was attending the Book Expo at the Convention Center close by and then my family was going to join me for a weekend of sightseeing.
I wasn't expecting that much because usually hotels so conveniently located to a large event place don't have to be that nice, you're paying for the convenient location. Happily, this Embassy Suites doesn't subscribe to that rule--it's great! Spotless, very nice rooms and to a T, one of the nicest staffs I've ever encountered. (Only one hiccup--I reserved a non smoking suite and didn't get it. The hotel was sold out, so I went to the CVS in Chinatown and got some Oust air freshener and it worked so well, I won't travel without it from now on!)
Also, one of my pet peeves is when you stay in a suite for 4 people and they don't give you enough towels. That was quickly remedied here, and the maid even left extras each of the days without me having to ask again.
Very nice breakfast buffet included in price of suite and helpful concierges for tour information that you can book right there. Also, there are 3 computers off the lobby which are very convenient for looking up tour stuff on your own and checking email.
All in all, a great stay!
