Recent Embassy International Drive South Review: "This hotel was one of the best I've ever stayed in. All the employees went above and beyond in providing excellent customer service. I was in town on business and came in around 7pm to discover a free happy hour until 7:30. I was supposed to have my room key to verify that I was a guest and instead of making me check in and drop my stuff off, they let me join in on the fun. Not only were there beverages, but fresh popcorn and chips and salsa. The following day, my tradeshow went late and we arrived back at the hotel at 7:45, hoping we could get one last drink, but saw that it was closed. A very friendly employee apologized but said he would ask the manager on duty if he could oblige just the one and Cody, the manager at the time, happily let us sit at the bar and enjoy our own private happy hour. The valet team and people at the front desk were very helpful with providing directions or suggestions on places to eat, as well as helping decide where I should spend a half day if I wanted to check out something "Disney." Everyone was so cheery and pleasant, very fitting for a hotel in a vacation destination! Overall, it was a fabulous experience and I will enthusiastically recommend this hotel to anyone!"
