So You Think You Can Mom?: Embassy Suites are Sa-Weeeet!

I took my family for a relaxing stay at the Embassy Suites Anaheim North in Anaheim, CA. I knew prior to arriving that Embassy Suites are known for their atrium located in the center of the hotel, but I had no idea just how lovely it was going to be. The atrium is filled with lush landscaping, waterfalls, ponds, koi fish and turtles. My kids loved hanging out by the water and naming all of the fish and turtles. Most were named Nemo and Crush!

The rooms are great because you always get a suite. It's not easy to find a comfortable room that's spacious enough for a family of 5 on a budget, but with Embassy Suites I know that my kids will have room to play and watch cartoons in the living room while my husband and I watch football and relax in the bedroom.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that my absolute favorite thing about Embassy Suites is the FREE cooked-to-order breakfast served every morning! My kids and I love to go downstairs first thing in the morning in our pajamas and enjoy a full breakfast of eggs, bacon, french toast, bagels, cereal, juices, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and coffee. That's just on my tray!!! My husband refuses to go to breakfast in his pajamas. He's a bit more conservative than I am. The kids loved sitting by the pond during breakfast and the atmosphere is just so pleasant and relaxing.

We had one of the most sweetest servers at breakfast. Even though the breakfast is self-serve, Corine was so helpful and kind. It's no surprise that trying to have a civilized meal with 3 kids under age 6 is no piece of pie and having Corine there offering assistance really made the entire experience all the more memorable. Thank You Corine! You are an Angel!!!

This Embassy Suites location is perfect for families with children because it has an Indoor Pool that's open from 5am-11pm. There is also a jacuzzi and a fitness center. The weekend that we stayed there was a gloomy and drizzly one so having an indoor pool was great. We spent most of the weekend in the pool!

After swimming we had to check out the hotel's nightly Manager's Reception in the hotel bar area, but this is not an adults only reception. Kids are welcome. There was a light spread of popcorn, chips and salsa. All well drinks and soft drinks are complimentary and for just a couple dollars they offered fresh pizza. We watched some College Football and even got in a game of pool!
