For our stay in Austin my Friends Steve and Joyce and I booked at teh Embassy Suites, Austin. I've stayed here before.

Nice hotel, big room with convertable couch/bed in foyer. Best part: the Manager's
complementary pre-dinner "party" wiht free drinks (although I wish they had more than just two kinds of beer: Shiner Bock which was very good and I think Coors. First time I had a Shiner Bock and it convinced me to go to the brewer in Shiner, Tx.)

The free breakfast through was not that great. I got pre=cooked pancakes, the eggs were poorly prepared. Some Embassy's are better than others I guess.

But one of my big issues: WHY CAN"T EMBASSY
START UP A FREQUENT GUEST PROGRAM? Or at least team up with other hotels for a program? I think The Embassys are good business hotels for the buck and I would stay there more often if they had a program.

Are you listening Embassy? (Don't know who owns them.) CATMAN
