The front desk person from 3 pm until 11 pm, probably should consider a different career given the obvious torture she appears to be in at work. Our stay is always exceptionally nice, with the exception of any afternoon or early evening contact we are forced to make with the unhappiness at the front desk. Cheers!

Everything was amazing except the host Stacy! She is so aggravating and made our stays very anxious! She is not cut out for the hospitality business. It’s bad enough that I will not stay there if she remains as a host!

Everything at Embers was top notch! Staff, property, room, even the dining, which I find most hotel restaurants are mediocre at best. NOT HERE! We can't say enough good about this place! Location was great with other restaurants and shops in walking distance. We will be back!
