The property is conveniently located and clean, and the staff is helpful. The hotel itself is pretty dark inside the hallways and rooms.. the lighting in the rooms is very dark. Lastly, leave early as the elevators have a mind of their own and take forever.

Food servers/cleaners were great. The place is nice looking butrooms were dark and needed updates. Our bathroom had chipped tub areas. Sink leaked water, bathroom door did not have a robe hook( 1st time ever in staying in hotels rooms over 60 yrs) lastly the location was very good but to charge $15 for parking was/is nuts. This property had plenty of parking and no business nor retail was around it, nothing!! I can see if the property is in a congested area on town but nada!!

We were staying for 4 nights for a wedding. Our room was only cleaned once and had to keep asking for towels getting them at 1:30 and had to be at the wedding at 3:30. No trash was emptied along with no clean glasses. Very disappointed.

The room was not clean, shower was dirty and dust and dirt around and behind the furniture. The worm was infested with brown roaches. Not likely due to the area, these were the kind that come with uncleanliness. Being a Hilton honors member this room was a disappointment.

Hotel for mutants...Back in the day this property was very nice - a place we'd have family stay when they visited us in Marin. Today it's a shell of its former self...My wife and I decided to stay in Marin on our way back to LA and I noticed the ES was listed when I looked up "Best Hotels in San Rafael"...well thank God I only booked one night (over $300 btw)...Right when we walked in there was spilled food all over the floor (and there wasn't any doormen to welcome or address the mess that greets guests) but okay not a big deal...then after checking in at what felt like a gas station, we were shocked to find A BOX OF NARCAN someone had left outside the elevator. There was some kind of convention for mutants going on that no other hotel would have welcomed (or at least would have been too expensive for them to book). Had I known this was the level of clientele the Embassy Suites welcomed we never would have stayed. As for the dark, dank room my wife and I were so shkeeved out that we slept on top of the covers - sideways - at the end of the bed just to get through the night. The next day we saved our trip by going straight to the Mill Valley Inn which was the same price but a magical, luxurious experience you'd expect in Marin County. If you like nice things - save yourself from the ick and book somewhere else.
