Embassy Suites San Diego Bay

When traveling with our family of six (two adults and four kids), finding the right hotel can be a challenge. We need space to spread out, good food options, and a location that puts us close to all the fun. Our recent stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown checked all these boxes and more!

The best part about Embassy Suites? They actually understand what families need! Our suite had a separate bedroom for Mom and Dad and a living room area with a pullout sofa and plenty of space for the kids. Having two rooms meant we could put the little ones to bed and still have grown-up time without whispering in the dark. The rooms were super clean and comfy too!

Let me tell you about breakfast - it's not just cereal and muffins! Every morning, we enjoyed a full, cooked-to-order breakfast included in our stay. The kids went crazy for the made-to-order omelets and fresh pancakes, while I appreciated the coffee bar. Some mornings they even had French toast! With four hungry kids, having breakfast included saved us at least $50-60 each day.

After a long day of sightseeing, we loved coming back for the evening reception. The adults enjoyed complimentary drinks while the kids munched on snacks (and unlimited Shirley Temples with extra cherries). This little break gave us time to plan our evening while the kids recharged. It's these little extras that make Embassy Suites such a great value for families.

The indoor pool was a huge hit with our crew! It stays open late, which was perfect for evening swims after our daily adventures. The best part? It's right by the elevator, making it super easy to get back to our room with wet, tired kids.

The NY West restaurant in the hotel serves kid-friendly pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches that satisfied even our pickiest eater. We also loved having a mini-fridge and microwave in our suite for snacks and leftovers.

For dinners, we had tons of choices with all the downtown restaurants just steps away. But honestly, some nights we were so tired from adventures that we just ordered pizza to the room and called it a win!

For a family of six, finding accommodations that don't require booking two rooms is a huge money-saver. The Embassy Suites truly delivered with their spacious suites, included meals, and perfect location. The value we got from the free breakfast alone made this stay worth every penny!
