| - Mr. B and I stayed here over the weekend to celebrate is 21st Burt-day again (hee hee). We had such a blast! The 50's deco is absolutely gorgeous. I opted for their 10th Anniversary Special which included a room upgrade for a measly $10 (score), 2 complimentary drinks, and a $10 resort credit to use as we pleased. (Yes, we used it at the bar!). Upon arrival the staff was extremely pleasant. From the valets when we drove up to the guy who checked us in. Nothing but smiles and courteous service. 5 stars for the service.
Our room, was so awesome! We had a studio room that was the perfect size. The tub in the center of the room was the best feature (I've asked for one just like it at home), which we THOROUGHLY enjoyed. The room accommodations were quite spacious. If you have the option, select an upgrade.
For a Sunday the pool was full but not overly packed, which we definitely appreciated. We were able to grab two chairs close to the pool steps and still take a dip without feeling crowded. The service at the pool was good as well. We were going out to dinner, which we didn't want to spoil, so we opted for chips with queso, salsa and guacamole. Surprisingly, the guac was very tasty. It wreaked of freshness and the right amount of everything that makes a good guac (5 stars ZuZu!). The salsa was decent, could've used a tad bit of salt, but it was devoured all the same. The queso was great as well. It had a mixture of black olives, and either green chiles or jalapenos (they weren't spicy so, we couldn't tell). Nonetheless it was still good. I enjoyed 2 Blackberry Mules (damn tasty) while Mr. B. had a Cadillac Rita (their house name I'm unsure at the moment) and one of their specialty drinks of the day. So, 4 drinks and an appetizer cost me all of $17 (remember, I had 2 comp drinks and a $10 resort credit. SCORE!). 5 Stars for the food and beverage hook-up.
The overall experience of the hotel was great! It was clean, beautiful and the staff was courteous and friendly, which made us feel very welcome. We will DEFINITELY come back for another stay-cation. Perhaps we'll try out the Tower (insert double air fist here).
