"We just finished a week at Avista Resort and it was a fantastic experience. We were there with the American Talent Showcase and our whole event was in the Ballroom. As the production manager, I am usually tasked with dealing with the hotel staff when something is needed in the ballroom area. One employee was very outstanding in her service: Stela. Stela was our banquet manager for the week and she was awesome. Most of the time at other hotels we are constantly trying to find someone to do the things that they are supposed to do but don't.This was not the experience with Stela. She was totally on top of the situation by anticipating our needs and making sure that they were taken care of before we even noticed. The room was always straight, water service was always ready with ice, trash removed timley. In short she did everything that we needed to make our event go smoothly. She would ask me several times a day if we needed anything. After 26 years of doing this at numerous hotels and convention centers this was the best service EVER! I highly recommend the Avista Resort for anyone needing a conference venue." -
