I have stayed at this hotel six times since March 2008 because of the location and shuttle service. I like the suite style and the complementary breakfast. The first few visits were great - the last two have been disappointing. On my last visit, the room was dirty. The bedroom door had white spots, possibly toothpaste, while the bathroom had greasy hand prints. There was dust on the edges of the bathroom door. I was too tired to ask for another room so I dealt with it. In the morning I had a bug bite on my hand. This could have been a coincidence but the same thing happened the last time I stayed at this hotel. This place needs a thorough cleaning inside and out and more staff.
Great accomodations; close to Busch Gardens

Stayed for a visit to Busch Gardens. Location was right down the road from Busch Gardens. Suite was quite spacious for the four of us with bedroom separate from living room area.
My pet peeve is cleaniness and it met my expectations. The free breakfast is not the typical continental breakfast from other hotel chains. You could actually order your meals how you liked it (omelets etc) with anything from bacon & eggs, grits, oatmeal, cereals, pastries .......
I would definitely return.
Absolutely wonderful!

As a result of my stay in this hotel, I signed up for the Hilton Honors program to be a frequent patron of Hilton hotels. I had a WONDERFUL experience! The staff was phenomenal! . . . friendly, welcoming, funny, engaging, accommodating, available, informative and attentive to my children. I could NOT have asked for ANYTHING more. I've never had the pleasure of staying in a 5 star hotel but if it tops my experience, they must carry you around on a bed of roses!

Rooms were large and clean; first day it wasn't cleaned though. No wireless internet access except in lobby, $9.99 per day for in room internet.

"LOVE Embassy Suites & delighted to stay at this one again. My Jan 07 trip came up wanting: wanting an unused bed and a bath without someone else's body hair. (Mgr not helpful) I was compensated, yet still shared skin particles between the sheets with who-ever slept there before me. Next room had a fiesty toilet. Yet the staff was exceptional. Breakfast is all you eat, evening reception - they have cut back since I began staying at Embassy Suites - 1988. But hasn't everyone? I plan to stay here again."
