Stayed at the Emery this past week and would consider it just okay. Very attractive lobby, adequate fitness center, nice bar, but my personal experience wasn't great.

Losing the Lounge is a big loss. The breakfast menu is very limited. I requested an omelette and was told they couldn't do it, and I needed to order what was on the menu. Closest to an omelette was an egg white frittata with kale, which is not to everyone's taste. Then the waitress had a difficult time figuring out how to apply my "breakfast coupon" which was worth $12.00, not enough to cover a full breakfast. It was wrong on the bill and to fix it they removed the charge and added the correct amount back as a mini-bar charge.

I used an SNA to upgrade to a suite. They had a choice of a studio suite or a 1BR suite. I chose the latter (the best offered other than Presidential Suite) and was surprised how small it was (looked very close to a typical Embassy Suites room. Maybe the fact it had a door between the bedroom and the small sitting area (with sleeper sofa) made it a 1BR suite. Also these rooms are on the 2nd floor, which presented me with a nice view of the roof (photo below), which also lessened the suite experience.

Additionally, there is no Business Center. If you need to print a document, you have to email it to the front desk. Fine for boarding passes, but no so much for confidential business documents.
