Practical tips for families
Bring identification for the adult checking in and have credit/debit card details ready for incidentals. If you need rollaways, cribs, adjoining rooms or a particular bedding layout, request those early—availability can be limited.
If you plan to use the spa or book a Sunday Brunch, reserve in advance. Also check parking options (valet and self-parking are available for a surcharge) and the daily resort fee inclusions when budgeting for your stay.
- Confirm rollaway/crib availability and fees before arrival.
- Reserve dining and spa appointments early—restaurants and spa services can fill for busy dates.
- Ask the concierge about child-friendly tours (hotel museum tours) and nearby family activities like the Riverside Art Museum and Fox Performing Arts Center.
