Very neat and modern property. Centrally located. Only thing i disliked about the stay was their breakfast. Very average breakfast and no options to cater vegetarians. Every day it was scrambled eggs and bacon or sauage.

The breakfast is excellent, with fresh ingredients, and the rooms are beautifully designed. Although the surrounding area is a bit remote, restaurants are just a 5-minute walk away. Compared to LA, the security here is truly much better.

Great staff that did little extras like make me up a plate when I missed the dinner buffet, and didn’t mind that my niece came over and swam in the pool with me.

This was or 3rd or 4th time staying here, but was the best experience so dar. We enjoy the clean rooms, good breakfast, and location. But this trip Todd, the gentleman at the front desk REALLY went above and beyond for us. He was kind, quick, yet thorough. His service was exceptional and the best part of our stay. We will definitely stay here again next time Weare in tow. Thanks Todd!
