The staff had a generally annoyed demeanor. First, I arrive to find that there’s no parking. It’s an extra $22 per night. I was misquoted on how much I’d be charged for parking and no one cared to honor the price I’d been given. They also added a $75 deposit to the price. I asked if children were allowed on the rooftop bar, and was told that they were. So me and my kids picked up dinner and brought it up to the roof to eat. We were pretty excited. After we unpacked our food, we were asked to leave because we brought outside food. It didn’t matter that we were paying customers. So I had to pack all of the food back up and take my disappointed kids down to the hotel room to crowd around a desk and an end table to eat our dinner. The pool is small. It only goes to 5ft and it’ll make your skin break out if you don’t bathe with soap immediately after use. Also, there’s no bathroom access from the pool without your keycard to get back in. Incredibly inconvenient. They would only stock one spare roll of toilet paper in the room at a time. We ended up running out on check-out day and had to use tissues. Breakfast is really not good quality. The potatoes are inedible. The eggs are liquid egg. The French toast is not good. The sprite came out of the fountain machine already flat. The glasses are incredibly small. Staff isn’t on top of restocking glasses when they run out, they even run out of the disposable coffee cups too. They only put one person in the kitchen and when they’re ma

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am sorry to learn you were not happy with your stay. The parking fees are clearly listed on the hotel website as well as other 3rd party booking sites and I apologize if you found it was not clearly visible. The 75 is the temporary hold which is customary for every hotel and is released at the end of your stay. As far as bringing food to the Rooftop bar, I do believe it is a violation of NC health Department code to bring outside food to any foodservice establishment. I shared your comments regarding housekeeping leaving 1 roll of toilet paper in the room with our housekeeping manager and also informed the director of F&B about the issues you experienced during the breakfast time to make sure those issues are corrected and prevent recurrence. Thank again for your feedback and we hope you stay with us again in the future.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your stay. I shared your review with the housekeeping manager to make sure staff are properly trained. I also made the engineering department aware of the ventilation issue you mentioned to address it and make the changes needed. Please accept our apology, we hope you will give us another chance and stay with us again.

The staff wasn’t friendly at check in. Sounded like I was an inconvenience to her by checking in. They didn’t give us the room we reserved. Wanted river view. But got view of wall of parking garage. There was hair in the shower and the shampoo was empty. For spending as much as we did, was very disappointed. Fact they had “no record” I reserved a river view because the Expedia receipt just says suite only.
Response from EMBASSY on 25 Feb 2024
Hello, Thank you for making our hotel aware of your concerns with the reservation and the lack of amenities in the bathroom. I have spoken to our house keeping manager and have used this as an opportunity to express how important it is to have our amenities stocked fully for each guest. I have also reviewed your reservation to make sure we followed the correct steps in assigning your room to match what the reservation says. After further investigation, we did in fact have you booked as a standard view room with 2 queen beds. that does not include a view of the river. if you feel like this was a mistake from what you had reserved, I would reach out to expedia.com directly as they may have made an error on their end. Thank you again for reaching out and we take your comments and concerns very seriously. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay, and please let us know if we can help any further.

Property was very nice. I asked for a wake up call last night there. The girl at the front desk never did it. Parking was easy but you have to pay 22.00 a day which I will not complain about because you get a decent breakfast. Restaurant was vey good we had a great waiter. ( 2nd floor restaurant)

The hotel was great and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The only issues we had was the construction on the floor above us during the day and the house keeping lady knocked on our door 3x before check out time before we left that day. Otherwise was a great stay!

Beautiful hotel in downtown Wilmington! Great location close to entertainment and restaurants. The breakfast buffet is delicious with MTO eggs and omelets. Rooms are spacious and well laid out. Our only complaint is that the bed sagged in the middle.

Almost perfect
Great property. Friendly staff. It would all be perfect if they could figure out how to make the breakfast a little better. Hot food is cold. Scrambled eggs were green from being overcooked. This is the second week-long stay here over the last 5 months and I experienced the same issues with the breakfast.

Great Black-out Curtains
Amazing time, my only two complaints are that the Rooftop bar was closed for renovations, and the black-out curtains caused us to oversleep. I guess that is not really a complaint, but when you wake up at 10:48 and the hotel would not give a late check-out it becomes problematic. We will return in the very near future.
