The bilevel Tower Conference Center has a 3,300-square-foot ballroom on the first floor and a 3,000-square-foot ballroom on the second floor, both of which can be separated into three spaces for smaller events. Each floor also has a terrace to accommodate 216 on the first floor and 184 on the second.
The hotel's three dining options include the 270-seat Bamboo Grille, which has indoor and outdoor seating. The property also has three brick-lined pools, a miniature golf-course and putting green, and a fitness center.
