I can't say enough good things about our experience at Hotel Polaris -- great communication emails and texts, friendly faces on staff all around the hotel, and then the rooms were as nice as the photos! We stayed there 5 nights and enjoyed the views, the restaurants, spa services and easy parking. And the best part was that every staff we encountered seemed happy to be there! We will be back to see our nephew at USAF and stay here again!

The hotel was very nice, clean, and employees were very friendly and helpful. However, they did not tell us about the complimentary items in the room for being a Expedia VIP customer. I thought we had to pay for the the items, so I did not use them. I found out when we got home and I called them to make sure I didn't get charged for a stale bag of trail mix that I opened.
