Reviews for The Embassy Hotel are predominantly negative, with guests frequently citing concerns regarding cleanliness, maintenance, and noise levels. Many reviewers report issues with mold and mildew odors, as well as rooms that appear outdated and poorly maintained. Guests have noted the lack of air conditioning and thin walls, which can lead to significant disturbances from neighboring rooms.
