palm_goodness Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 I was hoping for the Embassy Suites using the amenities described in the Hotwire Hotel List, but ended up with the Hilton. Apparently they now use Golf as an amenity for the Hilton. And the Hilton charges for parking, breakfast and internet access. The Embassy Suites does not charge for any of those. Buyer beware.

RedmondFrank Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 If it's any consolation, both the Burlingame and So.S.F. Embassies now charge $15 nightly for parking. Sad.
BEAV Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 I was hoping for the Embassy Suites using the amenities described in the Hotwire Hotel List, but ended up with the Hilton. Apparently they now use Golf as an amenity for the Hilton. And the Hilton charges for parking, breakfast and internet access. The Embassy Suites does not charge for any of those. Buyer beware.Typically, the Embassy Suites displays the Oceanfront and Complimentary Breakfast icons, which sets it apart from most other 4 star hotels in this zone. And although I couldn't get Embassy Suites to display for your travel dates, I have found in the past that if you enter 3 people in your search, often times the Embassy Suites will display for a few dollars higher than the Hilton or Hyatt does when entering 2 people. So this is a good exercise to do in the future for anyone trying to target Embassy Suites. No guarantees it will happen every time, but I've observed it on numerous occasions.
