I am a business traveler and have been diamond with Hilton for many years. I have stayed at this property a few times. For a really long time they had construction and a mess, but I am willing to overlook renovations that will make the property better. Today, I arrived at 11:45 am from the airport to find that my room was ready, but they wanted to charge me a $30 early check-in fee. In all my years of business and personal travel, I have never encountered this. If the room is ready, you get to check-in. If it is not ready, you have to wait. Even with being diamond, they still charged me. I have to be in this area several more times this year, but I will not stay here. I will go right next door to the Marriott, which has much better rooms (I stayed there because the Embassy was sold out for about a month ago). The common areas here are ok, but the rooms are outdated and the bar leaves a lot to be desired.
