"The front desk clerk at reception really set the (bad) tone for the stay. All the details below, but we felt pretty insulted by staff to the point that we would not recommend this hotel. Rooms are dated but clean. It has a pool facing the water and it is perfectly nice and very, very cold; hot tub is nice too (but it doesn't have jets, fyi). They have happy hour most, if not all, days of the week. Hot breakfast was simple yet filling; breakfast staff were nice and efficient. Short walk by the water to German restaurant Brotzeit Lokal, Zocalo Cafe, and Lumpia Company. Our experience with front desk clerk at Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove: First he tried to upsell us on a waterfront room, even going as far as saying we could "pay for it" with our deposit. Like, sir, what? I have been offered upgrades before, but this was degrading. Yuck. Then when we got to the room, we noticed our bed was not a king. We have a king at home so we know what size they are supposed to be. We measured it and it was 65 inches wide. A king should be 80 inches wide. So we went down to request the king we paid for, and that same clerk told us that "he didn't know the difference" but that that was a king-sized bed. Bed size is not an opinion; it is standard. So if Executive Inn & Suites Embarcadero Cove charges for a king-sized bed, it should be 80 inches. And if it is not, as it wasn't, then they are cheating their customers."

"Everyone was very friendly. There was a great selection for breakfast. The coffee was good and the dining area was clean. "

"This is a great alternative to the much-more-expensive hotels in the area. Don't set the high expectations and you will be happy. The room and bathroom are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is great because it has the waffle machine. The only difference are the few "scuffs and marks" on doors and windows, but no compromise in safety and quality! I will return! The only problem was the noise from the other rooms, it felt like people were talking all night."

"You have to fight off a few roaches but after that you'll be ok. Also a dolly parten movie in a making the best little H*o house and Texas you'll be able to see in person the working girls. If that's your thing choose this hotel "

"Clean room, comfortable bed. View of the city was great. Location is less than a 10min walk to the Fox Theater. Staff is friendly. $50 valet but worth it for the added vehicle protection. "

"The place was so clean close to everything downtown. The breakfast was amazing. Will definitely stay again"

"Didn't have breakfast, train left early. They do have laundry facilities available for guests - which was greatly appreciated."
