Loved our stay at Embassy Suites - room was very clean and I liked having a separate living/lounge area. Our room overlooked the sports stadium and on two nights I was able to watch amateur football game from the hotel room, but you can also walk in and watch the games. The breakfast was great - the best thing about it was the fresh egg station and the fact there wasn't a massive selection of foods (which I found at my previous hotel which left me overwhelmed every day). Breakfast can get busy after 9:30am, and on one occasion we found it tricky to get a table but others days it was absolutely fine. On the whole I would highly recommend the hotel - location is also really good as it's walking distance to Old Town, Meshreib and the national museum.
The pool is on the smaller side but the hotel itself isn't massive so I don't imagine it getting too busy, although we didn't use it as we went in early Jan and it was too cold to swim. I was surprised there was a life guard given the size of the pool.
Gym is also a really good size, with a separate gym for ladies and gents.
