Embassy Suites

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 02 Jul 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

OK place, but no hot water and very poor water pressure in the shower/tub. Maintenance looked at it twice and said it was the best they had. Receptionist and manager on duty were not very helpful when hotel did not recognize confirmation numbers. They refused to help obtain Embassy confirmation numbers.

Positives: Breakfast.

Negatives: Poor water pressure and no hot water. Poor receptionist.

Positives: Spacious room with nice ammenities.

Negatives: None.

Hotel was great, clean and near everything. The breakfast was the biggest drawing point, it had everything you would want and then some. The beach was great and was just a short walk away. The only thing I didn't like was the coffee so I will bring my own next time. Will stay again.

Positives: Loved the breakfast.

Negatives: Hated the coffee.

Negatives: No beach view.

My wife and two daughters stayed Dec.31 - Jan.3. Check-In was smooth. Rooms were clean everyday. Happy hour was worth it - Clerk needs to smile and interact with his guests more! Breakfast is great and offers many different items. Located near plenty. Recommend The Crab Trap (family friendly) down the street located on the beach for drinks, crab legs, crab dip, teriyaki shrimp, and gorgeous views and beach bar. Longhorn for a Filet Mignon and friendly service, Carraba's for a Martini, Lobster ravioli, and chicken cannilonni. Jesters at HarborWalk Village for frozen drinks expensive but yummy - try the Jester! Harbor Dock for blackened grouper or shrimp, many guests were eating the sushi - seemed highly requested, creme brulee was really tasty, and great views of boats coming in the Harbor. Do not go to McDonald's at night, awful service, they completely forgot our order. New Years Eve at HarborWalk Village was awesome and we plan to go again. Embassy may have been a few miles from everything but it was quiet and convenient we did not worry about the mileage. Sometimes a drive down the road is well worth it.

Positives: Quiet, clean, happy hour, breakfast, location.

Negatives: Lack of 24 hour room service, no smiles from a clerk, and no vent in bathroom.

Stayed with my 2 daughters (ages 7 and 11) and my mom and everyone had an enjoyable stay. The breakfast was great! It was nice to have a 2-room suite and gave the kids their own TV and some privacy for the adults. Only slight negative was the location as it was very far from the other hotels and somewhat hard to find as it was off of High way 98. The pool was ok, nothing spectacular. The beach is a short walk across the street and down a path.

Positives: The breakfast was fabulous!

Negatives: Hotel is far away from Destin and was a little hard to find.

Overall stay was great. I didn't stay long enough to give any other rating.

Positives: Room was good and comfort level great.

Negatives: Beach access.

Arrived Monday afternoon. Left Friday morning with wife and 2 small children. Had to call hotel to get directions for the last couple of blocks. Operator very knowledgeable. Hotel rooms comfortable and well kept considering everyone goes to beach across street. Buffet breakfast very well done with made to order omelets and fresh food. Happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30 was basically all you could drink well drinks in their very nice courtyard. Drawbacks: Pool/Spa just ok. AC at night didn't get freezing cold like my wife likes it. No view of beach. Still, I would definitely go back here again.

Positives: Nice suite, short walk to beach, free happy hour.

Negatives: Pool and hot tub didn't measure to up to hotel, room AC not cold enough for wife.

I would recommend this hotel to future friends and family.

Positives: It was very spacious and definitely worth the price.

Negatives: I loved it all.

Room was nice and clean, however, the living room area door opened up to the courtyard and it was very loud until quite late at night. It was so loud, in fact, that we had to go to the bedroom and shut the door to watch TV because the noise below was cutting through the television sound. At least one of the elevators was consistently. That was our only.

Positives: Separate bedroom and living room.

Negatives: Very loud common areas.

The manager bring me in a non-smoking room even though the reservation was for smoking and didn't even tell me when I called to confirm. The first room had no tub at all. The shower didn't work in the second room. The lobby was swarming with time-share solicitors, and the private beach was shared with at least 5 other hotels. The city of Destin is beautiful, but I will stay elsewhere the next time.

Positives: Convenient to beaches and shopping.

Negatives: In poor repair.

I liked the hotel, the room, the location but once again really had a problem with the lack of hot water in the shower. Staff said there was nothing they could do about it.

Positives: I loved the location and the spacious room! Access!

Negatives: We could not get hot water or even warm water and staff didn't seem to think it a problem.

Easy to find. Great atrium. Good breakfast.

Positives: Nice bed.

Negatives: The Decor.

This place is not worth your money. Almost impossible to locate, way off the main road and hotel staff was unable to give us directions on how to get there, didn't even know names of roads to turn on! Unbelievable!

Positives: Breakfast buffet.

Negatives: Hotel check-in staff was rude. had wrong address for my name and would not correct!

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 21 Mar 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Nice location and good place to stay.

Positives: Located close to the outlet mall and right across the street from the beach.

Negatives: Room smelled like smoke, supposed to be non-smoking.

This was a nice hotel, breakfast was pretty good, decent workout facility, great atmosphere. I would certainly stay again.

Positives: I loved their bed pillows, so comfortable. I would stay again!

Negatives: Bathroom was not properly stocked with toilet paper and facial tissue.

This hotel was comfortable, clean and the atmosphere was impressive. Free breakfast bar with a huge selection is a major plus, and free drinks during happy hour are awesome. The lobby can be a little loud, with music and people in the bar/restaurant area, but the sound does not filter into the rooms very much. The bathroom smelled like smoke, and the employees were willing to come spray, it was just a concern that either someone else was smoking in their room and it was getting into ours via the ductwork, or someone had previously smoked in there and the bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly enough to remove the smell. The walls were somewhat thin, as we could hear the person next door snoring, but it wasn't horrible. Overall, a very pleasant experience, only a few low spots (the smoke smell and the snoring) that could not really be helped by the staff since they can only control guests so much.

Positives: The atmosphere in the lobby.

Negatives: Our bathroom smelled like smoke, either poor ventilation or not a thorough enough cleaning.

Me and my spouse arrived under the impression that we had paid for a Jacuzzi suite. We DID pay for one, but what the hotel considered a "Jacuzzi suite" turned out to be a decent suite, but instead of finding a Jacuzzi, we found a glorified bath tub. It was very disappointing. Also disappointing was the noise level coming from the open-air lobby. It was very noisy and the walls were apparently very thin. Overall, the hotel was nice, but not somewhere that I would stay again- especially not for the price!

Positives: It was clean.

Negatives: Misleading advertisement of rooms.
