"The Casino is a block away. When you arrive at the Embassy they will let you park right outside the entrance door, go inside to check in and carry all of your bags up to your room. After that you can move your car to the Casino lot. We left our car there overnight and when we left the lot the next day we were charged $5.00 at the time of exit. We re-parked later that day and when we left again the following day we were charged another $5.00. $10 bucks total compared to the Embassy charging $20 per day. I didn't find anything un-safe about it. Everything was fine. Have a good time!"

Hope this helps.
I stayed at the ES last month (mid-week) and got put in a falls view room as a diamond with a low rate booked (don't remember the exact room, but it was the cheapest available). The upgrade was good for views, but the smoking smell in the room was disgusting. They confirmed that it's a 'non-smoking' room but either they didn't change out the carpet/furniture or the people around me were smoking a stale pipe. As for parking, the casino is very nearby and is a great option. Someone said in another thread, that I'm too lazy to look up, that parking at the casino is free for gambling members.. might be worth looking into.
And the afternoon snacks at the ES were great (chips, pretzels, fruit, veggies) and 2 glasses of wine/sangria/bottom shelf liquor and unlimited sodas. I didn't stay long enough for breakfast in the AM as I had a 6am flight from BUF.
