I've stayed in many Embassy Suites. They are great for families and are usually reasonably priced. This one is middle of the pack. Being in San Diego, I expected it to be a top tier Embassy. I was here on vacation with my wife and three teenagers. It met our needs and not much more.
There were some positives. 1. Location. It is in the heart of everything and is an easy walk or drive to most everything you will want to do in San Diego, including Coronado. 2. The concierge was helpful. 3. Business Center. Better than most Embassys. Had 3-4 computers and free printing.
The downsides. 1. Breakfast was below average. Messy floors and tables. Food was nothing special and they ran out of several items. 2. Our room and the hotel in general, are in need of a facelift. Moldy smells, dirty floors, walls and kitchen serving area. 3. $29/day parking fee. This seems outrageous. 4. Front desk personnel seemed apathetic and did not have answers to several of my questions regarding San Diego. Later, the concierge helped out.
Was it the worst Embassy I've stayed at? No. But I would have thought a major tourist destination like San Diego would go the extra mile to keep their customers coming back. We will look elsewhere the next time we are in town.
