| - The hotel, fountains and grounds are lovely. The lobby was packed and a bit hard to get through any time we were there. The indoor garden was beautiful with tulips and poppies being the focus of the April floral display this visit. The fragrance from the flowers was amazing! Lovely hotel though the rooms were a bit smaller than other hotels in this price range. Our view was a bit of a bummer- seems every one else in our party got a view of the fountains...we got the mountains- which did give us lovely sunset views...but to be honest that side of the hotel over looked the parking garage, service areas and freeway. Rooms for a convention are always a craps shoot. On the plus side we were in the tower so we walked past the chocolate fountain display many times each day...though very cool to look at, I didn't even want chocolate after a few walk bys. We were here for 4 days for a convention so we used the hotel, meeting rooms, banquet facilities, casino etc.
The banquet facillity was wonderful- 800 people served hot, tasty food...that is always a plus. Some hotels do banquest well- this is one of them. Great lighting, decor and acoustics...on a scale of 1-10- this hotel get's a strong 8.75!!!
Shops- lots of great shops- though most were strictly for window shopping for me. Love the galleries, jewelery and high end clothing.
Meeting rooms, convetion rooms, pool-side welcome party, drinks & meals associated with these events- great....a full 10 points
Live band in the Fontana Club- our cocktail waitress was great..the band music started out a little "old" we mentioned it to the cocktail waitress and the next thing we knew the had stepped it up a notch....great music & the dance floor was hopping all of this and their breaks timed with the fountains so we got to enjoy it all!!! On a scale of 1-10...the Fontana gets a 8
Sensei bar- great drinks, great bartender, great service- we had drinks here a bit too much- I think we sampled everything on the "specialy" menu- including their homemade ginger ale- yum yum-they get a 9 out of 10 points
Casino- very pretty, staff was very nice, not too smokey- slots didn't give up much money...but truth be told I wasn't really planning on funding my retirement with my winnings...good thingtoo, after all they don't call this place Lost Wages for nothing. Casino gets 7 out of 10 points.
Room service- pricey...very pricey...no shock there...we had breakfast & lunch with room service- the food was tasty, hot & looked wonderful, best of all delivered ahead of the promised time. Lunch- I ordered up a grilled chicken & basil sandwich with seasoned fries...my hubby showed up- the sandwich was big enough for us to share. Breakfast we had the bacon & eggs combo & the salmon and bagel breakfast- both were great...but $68 for breakfast seems a pit pricey even for room service. Dispite the prices Room Service gets a full 10 points
