    Beautiful hotel one block from the port. Restaurants all around. From burgers to steaks and seafood. They have free breakfast, omelet cooked to order and happy hour, free drinks and indoor pool.

    This may be my favorite business hotel experience ever. They not only provide a decent breakfast buffet with eggs made to order, fruit, sausage, pancakes, hot oatmeal, etc, but also have a free happy hour in the evening with snacks (veggies, pretzels, hummus) and decent margaritas. The rooms are quiet and set up well. I was in a suite, and there were actually two internal doors separating the living area and bedroom so that if you had people sleeping in the living area on the pull out couch (e.g. kids), everyone could access the bathroom at night while still having privacy (see pic). The kitchenette has a microwave, sink, and fridge. The light switches have small night lights, and there are charging ports available in both rooms in the suite. The view out the window of the bay is gorgeous. There is also an indoor pool and outdoor sundeck, and restaurant accessible from the hotel. One feature that may be great for some people and terrible for others is that the elevators are glass. If you are afraid of heights, stay on a lower floor. I would definitely stay here again.

    Nice hotel for business travelers, families or couples. Our suite was great, good size living room with a sofa, which was surprisingly comfortable. The beds were also great and the bedding seemed nice, soft, good quality. Had a good night sleep. Breakfast was ok, not a huge selection, but you get made-to-order omelet meal. The indoor pool was nice, heated. Staff was polite and helpful. Overall this hotel was good value for the money with the free breakfast, manager reception and with the park and stay option. They have washers and dryers, wending machines on certain floors, which is a big help. The location is also excellent. The place could use some updating, replacing worn furnishing but overall I can recommend it.

    We had issues while staying at Hilton's Embassy Suites. 1. Charged $65 for the valet parking, when told it would cost $60 as a Hilton Honor member 2. Our room #521 smelled like cigarettes and stale sour smells 3. Loud sounds of barking dogs. 4. Uncomfortable beds and pillows 5. TV in the sofa bed area did not work Other than the prime walking location and the decent coffee in the morning, we would never stay at this hotel again. Not worth the money.

    Within walking distance of SeaPort Village, USS Midway, and Gaslamp. Complimentary made-to-order breakfast was great. The hotel itself is beautiful — a fun place to stay, especially with kids. Fridge and microwave didn’t work. Some front desk staff are incredible. Some are average. None were rude. We would book here again with no hesitation!
