I stayed for Good Guys Classic Auto Weekend. Huge turnout on a very nice weekend. Hotel was busy with activity. Room was very clean, Pool was excellent and well maintained. One of the largest pool areas I have seen at a hotel. Lounge was overpacked with people drinking like their was no tomorrow, but I was with the group and we do this. This year the hotel installed a new outside courtyard patio and firepit area for more seating. It was really nice to eat and drink outside with such nice weather. They dedicated several servers to the outside area.

We slammed the restaurant and lounge facility in the early afternoon and they added more staff at 3pm to accommodate us. Bartender was not very fast, I think he was new. Some of our group were grumpy, but that is way car guys are sometimes. Restaurant did a very good job during early evening. Price was good and nice selection. Service was fast and food was nicely presented. Room Service was backed up, probably because we all ordered at the same time, but my breakfast order took 40 minutes and was excellent.

New self-parking and valet parking this year. The hotel did not charge us this year, but we were notified that their would be a charge in 2006. The hotel did a great job in reserving a large portion of their lot for our show cars and allowed a few cars in the front drive during checkin. In the past, some members of our group would just leave their cars in the driveway. Valet people and staff did an excellent job keeping the traffic moving this year. Very well organized and safe. The exterior and landscaping was great and they added additional lighting this year which was attractive and more secure in the parking areas.

Concierge had his hands full with us. Jason did an excellent job with all of our group and is a great asset to the hotel. He was knowledgable, friendly and provided a direct cellphone number after hours to contact him. What great service!

My only recommendation would be to add some live music on the weekends or music by the pool. There was some recorded music, but it was not very loud. But then again, we were a pretty loud group. That would add more atmosphere to a great outside dining area.

I wanted to compliment the General Manager on a great weekend and show this year. The best yet in several years. His staff did an excellent job on a tough weekend. I was notified he was on vacation, but I left a note for him. Great job! We will be back next year.

Folks,

This hotel charges $10 for microwave and $10 for fridge seperately for each night. beware!!

We thought we got a great deal at this hotel through hotwire until we read of the priceline guys who got it for $35!
Hilton have just spend over $5 million on this property and it shows in the ambience of the public areas. The room type we requested was not available so we were upgraded to a ground floor room with patio access to the pool. The comfort and general condition of the room was outstanding. We did not use the restaurant as it looked totally deserted.
We only stayed here one night but would have been happy to stay for a week.
