![]() It was so nice getting to have a hot hotel breakfast for our two weeks at the Embassy Suites Hampton Convention Center. They also provided plasticware and small tubs of ketchup if you wanted it. The food was served in plastic containers and the hotel had large paper bags with handles so that you could easily carry everything back to your room or to the main dining area which was open for anyone wanting to eat there. Rather than having these hot items available for guests to serve themselves, there was a hotel employee who served the food for you. There was a sign by the elevators showing what was going to be offered for breakfast the following day. The hotel also offered several hot options each morning which rotated depending on the day. If you wanted to toast the bread or bagels, there was a toaster with preserves, cream cheese, etc. Breads & bagels Fruit & cereal Milk, parfait & fruit There was a semi-buffet style setup, with individually packaged breads, bagels, cereals, fruit, parfaits, etc. However, our stay at the Embassy Suites Hampton Convention Center showed that it was still possible to offer something close to a normal buffet breakfast.īreakfast was offered from 6am-9am on weekdays and 7am-10:30am at the weekend. ![]() Seeing as buffet breakfasts didn’t seem like an option due to safety, that seemed like a reasonable change. In most cases, they’ve been offering a to-go breakfast containing items like a granola bar, yogurt, string cheese and juice. Since COVID hit, the breakfast offerings at the hotels we’ve been living in have been significantly reduced compared to normal. One slight improvement that could’ve been made to the bathroom would be for them to install an extractor fan. ![]() It wasn’t amazing, but it was certainly better than some other hotel showers we’ve had over the last few years on the road trip. The shower had pretty good water pressure. The bathroom was between the living room and bedroom which is something else we appreciated because it meant I didn’t disturb Shae at night time after she’d gone to bed. ![]() We also liked the fact that the bedroom door didn’t creak when opening it like the doors at our previous hotel. The fact that the bedroom was set back from the suite’s entrance meant it was always very quiet at night which we appreciated. To the right of the desk was a closet containing an iron and ironing board. On the other side of the room was an additional desk you can work from, along with a dresser and TV. It had a comfortable king bed and blackout curtains that worked very well once we clipped them together. While the separate bedroom wasn’t huge, it was still large enough for our needs. There was a cupboard under the sink which contained a safe. On top of the wet bar was a small coffee maker and a three-tiered container which had coffee and tea in it. The mini fridge had a small freezer box at the top of it which was large enough to keep our freezer blocks in which was nice. When heading towards the bedroom, there was a wet bar which had a mini fridge and microwave. The cabinet had a couple of cupboards which contained bedding for the sleeper sofa. On the other side of the living room was a desk/dining table with three chairs, along with the TV on top of a storage cabinet. Armchairīehind the armchair was a window which looked out on the hotel atrium. Next to the couch was an armchair which our small dog Truffles claimed for her own. There was also a decent-sized coffee table in front of the couch and a table to one side. While the design of the couch wasn’t what we’d pick for ourselves if we had our own home, it was comfortable to sit on. On the right hand side of the room was a sleeper sofa. When entering the suite, we entered into the living room. One of the unique features of the Embassy Suites brand is that every suite has two separate rooms – a bedroom and living room. The hotel has 10 floors and we were assigned a room on the 3rd floor – room 311. The guy checking us in was very friendly and offered a couple of bottles of water and our choice of snack as a welcome amenity for having Diamond status. There was no line at the desk, so we got checked in quickly. We’d gotten a late checkout from the Hyatt House Sterling/Dulles Airport North, so after a 3-4 hour drive to Hampton we arrived at the Embassy Suites at about 7:45pm. Here’s a full review of our stay at the Embassy Suites Hampton Convention Center. It was our first ever stay at an Embassy Suites and we’d be more than happy to stay at that Hilton brand again based on our great stay. We managed to get a good rate at the Embassy Suites Hampton Convention Center (more about that in the ‘Cost’ section below), so we booked a two week stay there.
