For the facilities, I used the fitness
center one morning. It is small; the equipment could be updated.
Yet, the equipment I used was all in working condition. We enjoyed
the pool. The bar had good service, and the towel supply was always
in stock. If you follow my blog, then you know I believe that hotels
should offer free internet. Embassy Suites Deerfield Beach does
not. However, if you are a Hilton rewards member, then internet is
included. We are not Hilton Reward members but had an easy fix. We
went to the front desk, signed up, and had free internet within
minutes for the duration of our stay.
The hotel was busy while we were there
between it being New Year's Eve as well as the Orange Bowl for the
college play-offs. The staff didn't seem rattled by the crowd; they were pleasant and ready to help when needed. The breakfast buffet was crazy busy both days we were
there, and the food was blah. We never attended the evening
receptions that Embassy hosts.
The beach is just outside the gate of
the pool. It was easy to access. As someone who grew up in Florida,
I am not a fan of “manmade/man-placed rocks” on the beach. I
didn't ask, but they are probably there to help stop erosion. Beach
chairs could be rented for $12/each per day. This is overpriced;
bring your own chairs if possible. Something else that was
overpriced was the parking. Consider this when booking.
TravelLady Rating: The location is
great. If you are traveling with your family and want space in the
hotel room, book a balcony, ocean-front room. Also, I used
hotels.com when booking this room two days prior to arrival and got
decent pricing.
