    Great stay and great food

    My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We attended for a convention. When we requested firmer pillows the staff brought them up to our room quickly. The facilities are nice. The fitness center has handweights, weight machines, and a handful of treadmills, so the entire hotel isn't fighting over 2 treadmills. The pool is nice. The staff from the bar to the front desk to the restaurant are amazing. We ate onsite quite a bit and Alma at the ARA restaurant was just lovely. The food was delicious. The coffee machine in the rooms is a Keurig if you want to bring some of your favorite coffee from home. I appreciated the coffee cafe. The staff there were great and the coffee was good too. We would stay here again.

    Great time

    Attending a magicians convention. The staff is quite helpful and the rooms and hotel are clean and pretty. The restaurant is pricey, but our favorite server, ALMA, was a breath of fresh air and just a wonderful person MICHAEL, the bartender, is great. Made me a rum punch that was sooo good. It is private blend and so unique Thank you to all Laura (Gerard) Intgroen

    Ara restaurant

    I had lunch Ara and really enjoyed it. My server, Francisco Perez was the best! He had a roomful of guests to take care of, yet he made time to make sure I was doing ok. Went above and beyond to get me a glass of wine, even those it was really busy. A great employee. You are lucky to have him!

    5 stars to Alma!

    Amazing level of service from all the staff. An extra shoutout to Alma in the restaurant that made us feel as welcome as home, away from home. Alma showed an extraordinary attentiveness to detail, making sure we had the best of experience.
