I go to el embajador a lot for business and i love this hotel. It’s so clean, beautiful inside, everyone is friendly but only thing i don’t like is that while trying to unwind at the bar they put no music at all. I’m not talking about loud music just a low music on the background just to unwind and a lot of the guests feel the same. But i love this hotel.

The hotel was amazing, everything was okay, but i should tell you and recommend you need to set 24/7, people speak english. Especially a night shifts, we did not get in so much trouble because i speak English but if my husband comes alone ,he will feeling very frustrating. Other things made me upset was yesyerday sitting in the gardens bar leaving my place to go bathroom, my husband was jumped for a prostitute asking if he was a service.
