My wife and I stayed here pretty much by accident -- Expedia told us that we were going to be staying at "Embassy Suites"! Since we've stayed at an Embassy Suites before, and liked it, we were considerably disappointed when we found out that there were no "Suites" in the name. That being said, we were pleased by this hotel.... more

My mother, sister and I needed a one-night room to attend my sister's graduation from culinary school. We searched our usual haunts (I've been to SF about 14 times in the last 18 months) but the prices were so high, I couldn't make it work. My sister then told us about The Embassy as it is where the culinary students... more

My vehicle was broken into while parked in the "gated" lot. No response from staff or management. Absolutely shameful. The showers were slightly worse than one might expect in an average hostile. Night was very loud with noise from both the street and the room above. more

Having not been to San Francisco in over 25 years, I was not familiar with the various neighborhoods of the city. My instructions were to find a hotel that included complimentary (or very inexpensive) parking, convenient location to the heart of San Francisco, and at a reasonable rate. What I found was the Embassy Hotel. At a room rate of... more

What a horrible experience. Read everything the other negative reviews have all had to say--they are all true. 1.) Many of the hotel's "guests" are in fact live-in residents from the culinary academy across the street. They're loud, rude, smoke too much (indoors!) and messy, leaving their trash in the hall. 2.) We were awakened our first night at 2... more

My luggage got stolen from the storage room where the manager locked it herself! Afterwards she wasn't available for help for a whole day. Only some confused front desk clerks. Called police and filed a report. Afterwards the manager, when I confronted her on the phone, sort of couldn't remember the whole thing!!!!! What a liar!!! Very bad experience! AVOID... more

Don't stay here. The room we were given was filled with mold. When we asked to switch we were given another room which had less mold. Then after settling in, the front desk told us we would have to move again because the room was booked for the next night. So we had to repack and move to a room... more
