  Very clean! Stayed here overnight for a professional meeting. Large rooms, great food, and a shuttle that will take you anywhere with a few miles for free. Solid wifi in my room and conference facility. Great view of the Peoria skyline and Illinois River, too. We will definitely be back!!

  Stayed at this hotel for the second time in a year. Staff is still very friendly. Breakfast is outstanding. Only constructive feedback is that the rooms are ready for refurbishment/rennovation (but are well maintained and very clean). This is one of the nicest hotels in central Illinois.

  This is by far one of the most amazing places to stay. The hotel is gorgeous. The rooms are truly all, ALL suites, with kitchenette. The pool was clean and perfect temp. Managers reception with a free dinner and the breakfast, Oh My Goodness...the breakfast was AMAZING! Cooked to order! Omelettes! French toast! Pancakes! Sausage! Something for everyone! And you can sit there and eat or take it back to your room. We got the family staycation deal that included a movie in room, large pizza (large is an understatement) 6 pack of soda, popcorn, candies...and we got a late check out (2pm) so we could sleep in and enjoy the pool some more. All this for just over $100 for the night! They also have a romance night that includes roses, champagne or sparkling cider and dinner in suits. Same price!

  Facilities are clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and quick to unlock the door to our panel room. Building is pleasantly warm to enter after being outside in the cold Illinois winter. Decor is tasteful and blends well without becoming overbearing. Only complaint is an unpleasant smell in the bathroom near my panel room. It's particularly pungent, and I don't notice it in other bathrooms or elsewhere in the building.

  My husband's work Holiday party was at Embassy Suites this year. Pleanty of parking. Clean and simply decorated party/banquet room. Food served was good and a nicely stocked bar. Dessert made the evening and having attended several functions here before I was amazed at the sound dampening divider walls worked so well on such a busy Christmas holiday event night! The staff went above and beyond to make quests comfortable.

  Managers special is an awesome touch. Some appetizers and drinks for 2 hours. Rooms are nice and clean. Free breakfast was also nice. Made to order omelets and buffet style. Close to a couple nice restaurants.

  Fantastic and friendly staff. After a long drive she made me feel like we were home. Got us in early to our room. Great room. Great location. Walked the river. The only downer was the young man who staffed the Happy hour time. Unfriendly and curt.

  Great facility. Comfortable rooms. Improvement needed in management. Additional training and communication among staff very necessary. My family and I ate there over the weekend the food was good but we all had a virus afterwards. Tried to communicate other issues to be addressed to management but they weren’t interested in hearing my feedback to make improvements they just wanted to provide me with discounts etc. to shut me up...sad

  The rooms were very clean, roomy, and had all that we needed. The service was great. We arrived late and could no longer order food. The front clerk got us some snacks and pop at no charge. She was more than friendly, which added to our comfort in staying here.

  My visit to Embassy Suites was for a business breakfast meeting. The breakfast was a buffet style service and the food was all hot and fresh and healthily stocked. The wait staff was excellent and greeted me and made sure our table was well tended to for the duration of the meeting. Everything was set up beautifully including the sound. Some conference meeting in big rooms have sound issues, but not here. Despite switching between different microphones and dealing with singing and a piano, there were no issues at all. It was a great meeting and the staff of Embassy Suites was clearly very prepared to make the morning run smooth!

  Stayed there July 14. The room next to us partied until 4AM. Loud music and talking. Could feel the beat of the music in our room! If they slammed a door once they slammed the door twenty times!! Very poor night of sleeping. Never experienced this before hope to never experience it again!

  Second time staying at this hotel. It's beautiful and the river view is lovely.
  I'll stick with the cons on this post, though.
  1) The pillows were terrible. Incredibly thin and rough feather pillows. Woke up with a sore neck no matter which pillow or what way I laid.
  2) Our air conditioning in our room did not work properly. We had it set to 50 degrees and the fan on constantly for several hours and it did not get cooler in the room.
  3) Do not expect to get peace and quiet in the pool or hot tub. It was always full with children being loud (Not the hotel's fault, just an additional comment.)
  4) We ordered a king size bed, and I'm no mattress size expert, but it seemed pretty small for a king.
  Note: This first time we stayed there we had zero issues. Maybe we just got unlucky.

  This is a very nicely done Embassy Suites. Very modern and probably the very best hotel in the area. Standard breakfast (oitstanding!) Good bar and restaurant. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Conveniently located for downtown, and only 10 to 15 minutes from virtually anyplace you would want or need to go in the area.

  What a great hotel! We are from the area and wanted a night away - this was perfect! We had a corner, two-room suite and it was wonderful to have a view of the river and the city. The room was huge and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The breakfast the next morning is always our favorite part! Amazing food and great service. What a fantastic place.

  I went to Embassy Suites for my cousin's wedding reception and I stayed at the hotel with my wife and two children in a king suite. Everything was very nice. The reception was great. The room was clean and plenty spacious. The pool was just okay, but the complimentary​breakfast is amazing. It's not​ the best food you will ever eat, but it's very good and for it's included in a very reasonable room rate. It's not the best hotel, I've ever stayed at l, but it's by far the best value for a family.

  Our stay at our favorite family overnight getaway spot was pretty typical. We spent so.e time at the pool/hot tub, play card games in the dining area during the manager's reception, enjoyed dinner out, had a good night's sleep followed by an amazing cook to order breakfast before checkout.
  
  One of the highlights of our stay included watching one of the employees (Emily) help a visually impaired guest. She offered to get him snacks and stood and talked with him in-between clearing tables and restocking the snacks. At one point I noticed he had clasped one of her hands in between his and it made me smile. This kind of care and service is what this hotel is about. Donna, our favorite bartender, always remembers us and is as big a part of our stay as anything else.
  
  This evening we had a special guest. Santa visited and my 10 year old allowed a photo to be taken with him.
  
  The only reason I rated them a four vs my normal five stars is that our bathroom wasn't as clean as it should have been. This isn't normally an issue but it did taint the experience.

  We booked Embassy Suites for our wedding reception and we so glad we did! The majority of our family and friends were visitors of Peoria and were impressed with the service of the hotel and of the town. They enjoyed the food, especially the appetizers. The service was mindful and efficient. The cook came out personally at our tasting to talk with us about his service. The event planner made my parents feel confident in a way that I ever could, for which I am eternally grateful. They communicated with us well even though we had to plan the event from out of town. They were also great about working with the rest of our vendors coming in and had worked with many of them before.
  
  Even the shuttle driver made an excellent impression by giving my aunt and uncle a personal tour of Peoria (without excepting any tip). My uncle expressed an interest in Peoria native Richard Pryor (comedian) and the driver gave them a tour of Pryor's neighborhood and the rest of Peoria before dropping them off on time for their flight back home.
  
  My only frustration was the lack of handicap rooms and types of room available to our guests.

  The bathrooms were outstanding. I really liked them. They were clean and well kept and managed. The water pressure in the sinks was more than adequate.
  
  The service wasn't great. Our coffee went empty and was never refilled. Neither was our water.
  
  The traffic situation was atrocious. It took approximately 30 minutes to leave the parking lot.
  
  Also, we were promised a buffet. There was no gravy, biscuits, ham, or waffles. The protein choices were bacon or gelatinous eggs. The potatoes were nice. The orange juice was far too pulpy to be enjoyed or properly dispensed from the giant carafe. It did taste good though.

  My cousins and I came here for a weekend getaway. We had a great time and the hotel was well taken care of. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast that also had a made to order station where they offered omelets with all kinds of fresh add-ins. The room was spacious and pretty clean. The staff was courteous and the view from our room of the lake front was awesome. It is a great property that used the water front to their advantage.
