Tourism Safety Meeting held 11.21.08 for hospitality providers, law enforcement (local, state and federal) and tourism officials.
What a treat! My first impression was that this was a funky and stunning hotel and when I read their web site to learn more and found out is on the list of historic hotels, I was so impressed. Think "Catch Me If You Can" and more.
Just about 20 minutes from PHX, the cab ride (and my driver) were great. (He had just achieved US citizenship so we had a great conversation.) Pulling up to the Hotel, both a doorman and a bellman greeted me and asked to help. I didn't need help but it was sure nice to see them.
The service at the Lodge is excellent. The golf pro and spa manager were very helpful with those aspects of our meeting. The AV team was responsive albeit a bit costly compared with other properties as they rent nearly all their equipment. It was truly a pleasure working with Stephanie Woliver, Sales Manager. Evans Garage (associated with the Lodge) is an awesome offsite dinner option and offers tremendous value.
