Embassy — Hotel in Mariscal Sucre

This is a very clean, well-staffed, older hotel a few blocks from the popular night spots in the Mariscal Sucre neighborhood. At the price, it is a bargain. By US standards my room was small, but it was well-maintained and comfortable. The WiFi was easily accessible and fast enough to be useful. They had staff on duty at the breakfast bar to keep things refreshed, the selection and quality were good, and the area had a bright, cheerful feel.

As everyone says, you should drink bottled water. There was only one bottle in my room, and I quickly exhausted it. It took me a bit to realize that the policy of the hotel is to place water coolers on the landings between floors, and you can refill the bottle as you like. Your stay will undoubtedly be more pleasant if you know this ahead of time.

I wandered around in the morning as people were leaving their houses for work, and with the night spots closed there wasn't much else to see.

My family & I stayed here 26-30 December. The hotel was fine, but the area was very busy and noisy. It made it very difficult to sleep, granted, it was just before New Years. Staff was friendly & helpful. ||||Breakfast was included and very good, but we struggled to feed my daughter. She has celiac disease, and gluten-free seemed to confuse them. However, after attempting to communicate the requirements (the staff speaks very little English), the manager came over and spoke to us. That afternoon, she went out and bought a loaf and GF bread, and from the second day, the made arrangements to feed her. I really appreciate their assistance. ||||All-in-all, the hotel is fine. If you are younger than me, and looking for an active nightlife, you'd probably be...
