7. There are two downsides in my opinion: (1) pay parking ($18 self park per day with no in/out privileges, or $28 valet with in/out privileges -- not something to look forward to but not atypical for a downtown location), and (2) the subterranean pool and breakfast/reception areas (odd lighting and not very pleasant atmosphere).

"Embassy Suites formula in an historic downtown building " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/7/2010 Vote

8. The downside is that the pool was closed the entire week due to maintenance, which was a bummer, as we always enjoy spending time at the pool/spa in the evenings while we stay in hotels.

"Great location for museums, shopping, dining " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/24/2009 Vote

9. The only downside to my weekend trip was that there were some scary-crazy homeless people downtown on Sunday morning as my sister and I went for a walk and did some shopping.

"The Hotel and Staff are Great, the neighborhood...not as much " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/30/2009 Vote

10. The only 'downside' was that breakfast is held in one of the basement levels and didnt have the light and airy feel that other EB's have.
