We stayed at this property for 2 nights June 2-4. Paid for one night, used Hilton Honors points for 2nd night. I was looking forward to ending a 12 day vacation at this property, and ended up being disappointed. Below are pros and cons:
Cons:
1. Partly selected this property because of the nice outdoor pool area. Then the Health Department closed the pool our only whole day there (it was still closed upon checkout June 4). That in itself raises some concerns about the pool service. The management offered to shuttle us to the other Embassy Suites to use their pool. We chose to drive ourselves, and my kids did enjoy the indoor pool, but it was not nearly as nice as the Swenson property.
2. We were in room 624 - NOT an updated room, although my mother-in-law in 626 had an updated room (flat screen TV's, newer entertainment centers). Do I really care about watching a nice TV in Vegas? No. But why is one room updated, the other not, both on the Hilton Honors floor?
3. A/C issues - both nights we had problems with the room getting stuffy and the air not running properly. Tried turning down the temp - not much happened. Not great sleeping conditions.
4. Walls are thin between rooms. Each morning I heard the phone ringing for my neighbors wake up call (AT 5:45!) and then could clearly hear their cell phone ringing several times - I even got out of bed thinking it was my phone ringing.
PROS
1. As others have said, the breakfast service is great. Nice selection, plus the cooks are personable and efficient.
2. Beds are very comfortable, and the rooms are spacious (the reason we chose this hotel). Nice large refrigerator and microwave, in case you have leftovers from one of the fancy restaurants in Vegas.
3. Parking is easy and a short walk to your hotel room. I like that there is no casino, especially when traveling with teenagers.
4. Location is good, and although I did not use their casino shuttle, it was nice to have it as an option.
Would I stay here again? I would probably give them another chance. But this trip did not work out the way I had hoped.
