This Embassy Suites hotel is in a great location south of the airport and on the shore and our room overlooked the Bay. Everything was clean and the bed and pillows very comfy.

The decor was a bit shabby, but I believe the hotel is being done up. The breakfast was simple, but decent. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The free shuttle worked a treat, saving us $25+ each way. The area itself is also very nice, with enough to do if you need to waste a few hours. Also decent food available from a variety of...
