This hotel was great- except the price. I thought it was expensive, but was the most affordable option i could find for the area. The room was very spacious and the king bed- very soft and comfortable. The pillow were nice too- felt like real down feather pillows.

We'd stayed here several years ago for a business conference. The great location, fantastic room, and excellent Staff left an impression. So we picked Empress Hotel for our Anniversary week-end getaway. It was even better than our first stay. Conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and parks. We'll be back!!
