When I booked my vacation.. Embassy Suites was #20 in Vegas on Tripadvisor, it is now #8, and I can DEFINITELY see why. Other hotels can have all the amenities they want, at this property, the staff are unlike any others I have every came across, and I work in the business!
Greeted when we walked in with a smile, William (Front Desk Supervisor) was incredibly helpful not only with getting us checked in promptly, but with our questions of the nearest casino, shuttle services, the resort ammenities. He was a dream employee, I kid you not, and Embassy Suites should be thankful they have someone like him.
Next was our room, located on the 6th floor (newly renovated from what William told us). This room had everything we needed and a very nice layout. Two large flat screen TV's, microwave, kitchen sink, refrigerator, if we were staying longer than we were (2 nights) we could have made our breakfasts.. but wait.. they were free!
We didn't take advantage of the complimentary hot breakfast the first day, however the second we did. And like I read on another review, these guys wowed us. Although there was a line-up, it went fast, and the chefs (2 of them) were very quick and extremely accommodating to all requests I noticed in the line.
Managers Hour was for a few hours in the evening and included some appetizers, as well as free drinks. What a treat! A great way to start the evening off in my opinion, which is what we did both nights we were there.
Finally, I have to mention the staff again. They REALLY do make a difference in your stay. Ralph (the hotel Ambassador) never left the lobby floor when people were around, and you could see him constantly speaking to guests and I can tell you that he spoke to us on many occasions just to make sure all was going ok and to make small talk, an incredible, incredible way to make someone feel welcome and at home. The shuttle drivers were also incredible helpful. What I thought were set schedules to and from the strip and airport, became 'where do you want to go?' and 'I can pick you up after', as we took advantage of their wonderful services, I tipped as much as a cab would have taken I'm sure, but in my opinion, these guys were worth it.
Overall, I must say, it was one of the most memorable stays I've every had. And I would recommend and re-recommend this property as a choice place to stay in Vegas, even if it is a few minutes off the strip!
