My husband and I stayed here with our three children ages 1, 3, and 5 years old. The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the close proximity to the Westfield shopping mall. We walked there from the hotel many times during our stay for dining and shopping and to go ice skating at the rink located inside the mall.
The breakfast was great and there were plenty of items to choose from. There was fresh fruit, yogurt, tea, coffee, juice, cereal, sausage, oatmeal, pancakes, etc. The inclusion of breakfast in the room rate was one of the reasons we chose this hotel because it saved us travel time and a considerable amount of money each day.
The koi pond is beautiful and tranquil. I sat one one of the benches overlooking it and read a book for a while. The water sounds were relaxing. We used the pool which was comfortably heated. I also used the business center where there were plenty of computers available, as well as a printer and fax machine.
The evening reception was nice for the children. They helped themselves to goldfish crackers, pretzels, and juice, and they enjoyed watching the fish swimming in the pond. . The hostess at the evening reception was very friendly also. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely return.

I stayed at this hotel for a month in 2004 and found it to be pleasant. Well, now they've renovated the place and it's lovely with updated furniture in the rooms and lobby. The complimentary breakfast was good; the usual omelets, pancakes and French Toast, with fresh fruit, juices yogurt, etc. The evening reception can't be beat; free drinks including hard liquor and a few snacks. We were there over a weekend and had no problem with kids running wild; they were for the most part polite and quiet. It's not in the center of town by any means, but it is less than 30 minutes to the beach, the zoo, Old Town or the Wild Animal Park. The only drawback we found was the price for parking in their lot, but with ample FREE parking on the street if you're willing to walk up to a block or two, that's not an issue.

My family and I stayed there while I was on business. The hotel is conveniently located across the street from a shopping mall comprised of the large anchor stores of Sears, Nordstroms, and Macys. There's an array of restaurants nearby. We were happy with the spacious suite. The only glitch was housekeeping was slow in cleaning the room and it was about 3 pm when they arrived. If you are a late riser for breakfast, there are long lines for food after 8 am.

We stayed for 4 nights over Presidents day weekend. We arrived Saturday evening and checked right in and got to our room. Our room was nice and clean and had everything we needed, including a plasma TV. When we returned from dinner the parking garage was full. Fortunately one of the guys that works in the lobby helped us find a place to park our car. The hotel was was totally booked mainly because of a hockey tournament. There were several kids running around playing in the elevators. I was surprised the parents were letting them do this. Having boys ages 6 and 9 I was tolerant of their antics, but would never allow mine to do run loose in a hotel. The breakfast selection was good. There were 3 chefs for cooking eggs so the omelet line was never very long. The kids had a lot of fun swimming in the pool. I was glad the pool was indoor since the weather wasn't very nice. I was dissappointed the hot tub wasn't open during most of our stay because it was being re-tiled. The hotel is in a very convenient location. Would definitely consider staying here again.
