I agree and typically prefer one of Hilton Worldwide's other full service brands over Embassy Suites. The finishes and furnishings can be somewhat cheap relative to those in a proper Hilton, the free breakfast is just OK, and the evening manager's reception can be downright bad with meager snacks and bottom shelf well drinks. Not to mention that the hotels are often overrun with families and/or youth sports teams on the weekends. All that said, I don't think there's another all suite brand that offers the same level of amenities and service, and I'd taken an Embassy Suites over an HGI or HI any day.
Do you prefer the ES over CY? Just curious.
