What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 166 guest reviews
The Embers Hotel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently praising its prime downtown location, spotless rooms, and standout staff who go noticeably out of their way for guests. Minor friction points do surface — a sofa bed in poor shape, a restaurant that runs short on menu items, and some noise from housekeeping — but these are largely overshadowed by the volume of enthusiastic repeat-visit intentions. It is a strong choice for the area, with very few serious complaints across recent stays.
