"It is a standard paint-by-numbers Embassy offshoot with a formula that strays little from its sibs, but regular maintenance and a fine location keep rooms full, especially on weekends." Full review

There are a limited number of balconied suites on the city side, so be sure to request them when checking in (no extra charge).
