Enjoyed my friend’s birthday dinner and dancing. Very relaxed. Felt like we were at a family party during the dancing. Would have liked a better mix of freestyle music but it did the trick. Food was great value for the price. Generous portions and flavorful. Although I’m not supposed to eat bread I couldn’t resist the rolls and broke my fast that evening.

We had a lovely time but the food was lacking in flavor, sandwiches where bland, scones where hard and dry even the desserts lacked flavor. Sadly I won’t be going back it’s a beautiful hotel and the staff are so gracious but for the price it’s not worth it.

We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!
