Josh L. • August 29, 2013Super-friendly bar staff and complimentary snacks!

Stephen P. • December 11, 2012C/O the lounge before you go out for dinner, pastas, cheeses, veggies and deserts. Did I mention nice wines & unmeasured pours? Enjoy, the hotel ain't cheap but the lounge access adds instant value!

Venessa L. • December 5, 2010Don't spend $6 on a beer here, walk across the street to Dominick's Pharmacy and buy a 6 pack for the same price, then sit in the lobby and drink them. You're welcome!

Ismail E. • May 16, 2011Great dirty Martinis with stuffed olives with blue cheese. Delish.
