Checked in and checked out within 15 minutes. The adjacent room was playing loud rap music with pounding bass. After complaining to fromt desk nothing was done, just given the option to move to a different room. That and the poor conditions, old bathroom and stained carpets, we repacked the car and got out of there to go to the... more

I stayed here for 2 weeks for business. This place looked like it was terrific 50 years ago. It is not in a great neighborhood and good luck finding a place to eat nearby. The room was in decent shape but dated. The bathroom was not great, the shower stall was tiny and needed to be re-tiled. It has a... more

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
