Embassy Suites by Hilton El Paso

Hotel Needs Work

The hotel has been purchased by Embassy Suites and is undergoing a multi-million dollar upgrade. Upgrades are sorely needed. The ongoing work did not impact us. There were signs indicating when there would no longer be breakfast and when the pool would be closed, all due to the upgrades. The enclosed 8-story atrium is pretty nice. The indoor pool is a decent size and there is a hot tub, but my group did not use either. The staff were very polite and check-in and checkout were easy and quick.

Our group had 4 rooms. The air conditioners did not work in any of the units. The front desk was told twice but nothing repaired or notes left indicating that they could not be fixed. On the last night, one of our rooms needed to be moved due to the heat. We had a couple rooms on the 3rd floor over the pool. The odor of chlorine was pretty significant. All of the rooms had mold/water damage issues behind the wallpaper, primarily in the bathroom and around the sliding glass door to the small deck. A dirty pair of underwear was adjacent to one of the decks. We were there for 4 days and the breakfast was the same each day (scrambled eggs, a slice of ham, and some chewy potatoes). A large cockroach was observed in the atrium where breakfast is served.
