This is the location of AT&T's "Pole Farm". In the early 1900's AT&T had their scientist's search out coordinates for the optimum area to send radio wave signals for telephone usage. After extensive research they chose this spot in my area for the construction of hundreds of telephone poles erected in a diamond shape pattern. There was one pole per country and it was pointed toward that country, predominantly in Europe and the Caribbean. So, in the early 1940's, for example, when president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to discuss WW2 war strategy with Winston Churchill in London, their telephone signals would meet at this spot. There is only one pole that remains standing and it is believed to be pointed toward Tel Aviv, Israel. The beginning of the end for the "pole farm" was the launch of the first communications satellite in the early 1960's

We really liked it, from the staff to the rooms to the atrium to the happy hour. We would definitely do embassy suites again, although avoid a fifth floor room at this location because of noise from HVAC units (or something) on the roof turning on and off.

The hosts are amazing! Super friendly and I felt so safe traveling solo. It was well below freezing but I was warm and cozy. Having the ac hitting the couch was my favorite spot in the house. I can’t wait to come back in the spring to walk in the canal trail (which is so close to this property).
