Disappointment
The hotel itself seemed to be kinda dirty and not cleaned very well. There was no hot water for showers as the boiler had went out and nobody seemed to be bothered by it when we went to the front counter. The quality for an Embassy was down right disappointing and May never stay at another Embassy moving forward.

Overall my stay was good. The only complaint I had was the shower. The water pressure would drop extremely low and turn cold all at the same time. Then after about a minute, it would return to normal.
