When you go to breakfast, do you get a voucher for each person? Or is it like other complimentary breakfasts where you just go down and eat. Do I need to tell them how many people are in my party when I arrive? It will be 5 max. But I don't want to pay an extra $40.00 a night if I don't have to. It seems like you would have to show at least your hotel card? How do they regulate people not just showing up at the hotel for a free breakfast? Anyway, I know that's terrible, but anyone have the info? Thanks a lot!

I wouldn't show up at breakfast in my own house looking like some of these people! Tomorrow's rant: flip-flops are not shoes. . .
Originally Posted By mousegrl See, now that's horrible. If that's happening, they should implement some sort of I.D. requirement. I'm, however, paying more than $220.00 a night for 4 nights, and feel my breakfast is already paid for, whether it's three or five people. I'm a pretty honest person, however, and will probably end up paying the extra $20.00 a night per person. Thanks for your reply!

That hotel houses LOTS of people - mostly families and not your typical business travelers like most Embassy's. It's got the biggest atrium of any Embassy I've stayed at (company standard hotel when I traveled on business).
Originally Posted By threeundertwo Nope, no vouchers this time, but we did get the "stoplight" flyer. Very funny. Love the atrium and the fish. If you look carefully, sometimes you can see the turtle. When we were there at Christmas, the chef had made a huge, real, gingerbread house. My kids could have played inside. Unfortunately, as the days passed, some of the tiles fell off and it started looking a bit icky, like the witch was eating Hansel and Gretel inside.
Originally Posted By mousegrl SuzieQ-have you had a voucher at any of the other Embassy's you've stayed at? BTW, thanks for the link to the menu! I'm wondering if because it's the San Diego downtown location, they will have vouchers. O'well. I'll probably just check in and see if we get vouchers. If not, no worry. If we do, I'll have to add another person or two to my room. Uggh. $220.00 + $40.00 extra per night=$260.00 a night. That should cover breakfast! LOL. Thanks again.

Originally Posted By mousegrl Thanks again! I suppose when I show up and say that we have 2 more guests,they'll up it from the $20.00 rate to $40.00 per person per night. They'll claim the $20.00 rate was internet only. LOL. These may turn into some very expensive breakfasts!
Originally Posted By mousegrl That would be nice. Online, everytime I enter another person, it ups my total by another $20.00 per night per person. Anyway, I'm super excited about my trip. The Embassy in San Diego looks amazing and I'm sure it will be worth every penny! Thanks again for all the info.
