Location and Service Can't Be Beat!
We are a family of 5 which includes 3 boys ages 7,9,11. My wife and I prefer suites so that we may have quiet time when the kids go to bed. If we were in a regular room we would have to go to bed once the kids go down but having a suite allows us to stay up and watch t.v. in peace! The Embassy Suites is the only all suites hotel in the downtown area and our choice each time we visit San Diego. We stayed here July 5-11, 2012. The location is excellent and within walking distance to many of the attractions San Diego is famous for (SeaPort Village, GasLamp, Midway, Top Gun Bar) and a short drive to other attractions (Sea World, Zoo, Belmont Park, Coronado Island, Balboa Park). The staff goes above and beyond and are extremely helpful, professional, and courteous. The valet staff work hard and are able to manage all of the vehicles quickly yet safely even when having to retrieve cars from the overflow lot a few blocks down the road. They always had a smile on their face and greeted my family by name. The front desk staff were excellent. However my hats off go to the housekeeping and engineering crew. The housekeepers had our room like new each time we came in from a long day of sightseeing. The engineering department fixed our A/C unit when it froze up and fixed a clogged drain in the shower. I wish I could remember the name of the two engineers that serviced out room as I would have loved to give them kudos. Thank you gentlemen if you read this! The onsite restaurant is fantastic and we wound up eating there three times during our trip. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the bang for your buck inexpensive! Very kid friendly! Also a plus for you Starbucks lovers, there is a Starbucks on property. I honestly do not have anything negative to say about this hotel. This is the second time we stayed here with the last time being the summer of 2008. We will continue to stay here as long as Hilton does not change things up!
