(This is my very first post, here- I have been lurking for awhile, now!)
We stayed at the Embassy Suites at Garden Grove last time we visited (Sept. 02) and will be staying there for our visit in October. I was mostly satisfied with our visit. The previous visit to the September visit, we had stayed at the Hilton Suites in Orange and LOVED it, but the prices have gone up a lot since then. The Embassy had some important features for me, including a free breakfast in the morning. (Hilton's was better, though!) We also liked the evening beverage reception the couple of times we made it. The rooms were clean and fairly nice- the bathrooms were clean and I have no complaints about them. The only thing I found a little bit strange was there is a window at the front of the room, so you can look out over the courtyard. I'm kind-of a private person, so I always made sure the curtains were tightly closed so no-one could peep in. The view out the window wasn't the greatest. You got a good price. That's what I paid in 2002 for the rooms.
I think there is an option for you to email me- if you'd like, I took a couple of pics of the room when we were there. E-mail me and I will send them to you.
