My husband and I stayed at the Embassy Suites for 8 nights in early April. After a long flight and getting lost on our way to the hotel (since we forgot to print directions), we checked in and were given a 6th floor room (which is reserved for Hilton Honors members) facing Swenson right next to the elevator. Because I had read negative comments about being right near the elevator and hearing planes, I was a little skeptical. To my delight, I never heard anyone in the hallway or at the elevator, and was never woken by a plane (and I'm a light sleeper). In fact, even during the day we hardly ever heard planes overhead.

Ralph went out of his way to welcome us and greet us every morning during breakfast, and evening at the manager's reception. All the staff was friendly, and at least attempted to be helpful (we asked for directions and we were sent completely in the wrong direction). :)

The breakfast is amazing. I had cooked to order omelets, pancakes or French toast every morning. The grill cooks are efficient and the food is wonderful. We only had more than a couple minute wait the first day when we got in line behind a group that was staying at the hotel for a convention.

The facility is very well cared for and the rooms are very comfortable. The beds were better than most hotels.

Throughout our week there were always conferences going on, and lots of kids running around, but they never disturbed us. Even the 10-18 yr. old cheerleaders were well behaved and kept in their own row of rooms several floors below us.

The "restaurant" is in the atrium. It is sort of segmented off, but it definitely doesn't work for the upscale atmosphere I would like in a more expensive restaurant. We had lunch there one day, and a light dinner another evening- the Strawberry Chicken Salad is heaven. The one thing that was consistently negative was that the service was extremely slow. We didn't have plans to go anywhere, so it didn't matter, but it was still a nuisance.

The pool area and fitness center are exceptional. The gift shop is a joke. Go to a real souvenir shop and save yourself lots of money (two postcards with stamps cost me over $7).

As we were preparing to leave, we were offered the chance to store our luggage in the bell closet until our plane left several hours after we checked out.

All in all, I would rebook with this hotel in a heartbeat. Being away from the strip, but within a 5 minute drive was great. We could get away from the hustle and bustle when we were ready to relax, and had a great time while we were there.

We stayed at the Embassy suites for 4 nights. Initially I was afraid that we would be too far out of things but the hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the strip every hour (and also one to the airport). The driver will pick you up at other times if you require. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and feel the choice not to stay on the strip was the correct one. We visited several hotels and found them too big. The queues to check in /out were long and I found the atmosphere a bit anonymous. On the other hand we saw our hotel manager several times during our visit. He mucked in clearing tables etc if required. I liked the family feel to this hotel. The kids loved the pool and we used it as a way to break up out day. The adults loved the mangers reception with free drinks and snacks between 5.30 -7.30. The cook to order breakfast is fabulous with omlettes with several fillings to pancakes and waffles. There is also a hot buffet or fresh fruit, cereal, pastries. Really great value for families. Our kids loved the resident swans and got to feed them. The accomodation was very good with 2 LCD TV's. I was annoyed however by the table in the centre of the room which was an obstruction when preparing the sofa bed for the kids every night. The room had a safe and fridge. If i was visiting Las Vegas again I would definately stay there again. We did hear some noise from the planes but not enough to be a problem.

Wonderful family hotel! Every staff member from the front desk to the maids were helpful and friendly! Ralph was especially helpful during our stay. Room had 2 flat screens, fridge, and microwave which is WAY more than you get in some of the "on the stip" hotels. Breakfast was PERFECT - and the chef had a great sense of humor. Happy hour was better than some of the other Embassy hotels we have stayed at. Pool was clean and there were always towels available. I just can't say enough about how great of a value this hotel is!

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nites with our 2kids. Here are the things
we liked about the hotel.

1. Best exercise room ever for a htl. Great elypticals and treadmills with cardio theatre on each machine. Good free weights. Just an outstanding exercise room. Even provided earphones for the tv's.
2. Breakfast was great. If you were a little later in the A.M. the line for omelets was a little long but you could go to the separate station for scrambled eggsand bacon and continental with no waiting. A+ service down there.
3. Nice van service to both airport and the strip that ran once an hour. Definitely take the van to the strip and not your car. The strip is wall to wall cars all day and is absolutely no fun to drive at all in. Don't bring car to strip!!!
4. Occasionally I could hear a plane from the airport but for the most part the hotel was really quiet considering how close to airport it is and the fact there were a bunch of kids in the htl for spring break.
6. The suite was really nice with great flat screen tv's and lots of channels. The living room seemed a little smaller than some embassies but not much.
5. My kids loved the 2 swans in the lobby. Also, loved the fresh .lemon water in the lobby. Nice touch
6. The help at the front desk was first rate. I had a couple of requests that I called down for and they responded very quickly.
When we would come back in for the evening the help at the front desk would always welcome us back which was a nice touch.
7. Had dinner in the restaurant and that too was great.
I have stayed in many embassy suites over the years and this one is as good as it gets.
8. I enjoyed the free internet and printing in the lobby. They only had one computer but there was big sign saying there was a 15min. max. time so the computer was free much of the time.
If I had one wish it would have been to have a little more heat in the outdoor pool. They said it was heated but it was mighty cold in that pool.
If you are looking for a non gaming htl this is a great option.
