The hotel features a new restaurant and full-service bar: Current, featuring a Pacific Ocean-inspired décor of soft ocean blues and greens, serving coastal cuisine, local craft beers, and specialty cocktails and offering live entertainment from 5:00 – 7:00 pm nightly. The lobby experience has been redesigned and with the addition of the Driftwood Ballroom featuring plenty of natural light, the hotel now boasts 27,000 square-feet of meeting space to accommodate functions for up to 750 people.
