I don't know where Dr. Kuri's office is in relation to Dr. Ortiz but Dr. Ortiz uses the Lucerna hotel and I think it is lovely. Clean accommodations, nice rooms (although the last time I stayed there the pillows were hard as a rock) they leave complimentary coffee and Water in the rooms, a beautiful courtyard and pool and two restaurants with many more in the area. I think Dr. Kuri had his bandster bash there so it must be close to his office. Why don't you also ask his office which hotel they use as they might have a discount. i know you can find the lucerna on the internet - www.lucerna.com (or lucernahotel - not sure but I know you could find it)

good luck with your surgery and banded life.

Terry R, We stayed at LaQuinta not far from Dr. Kirshenbaums office, it was ok but would have preferred a place where you enter the room from the inside rather than a outside entrance. Anyhow the service was good, they kept my popsicles in their freezer and the Husband had to do alot of running. I know from reading on here that there are some hotels with mini fridge's. We booked on line with Travelosity and bought a package with plane,car,+ motel included. Good Luck, Sunnysea

I stayed at the Doubletree in Aurora, it was find but I think it was a bit overpriced. I really think your best bet is to call Dr. K's office and get some rcommendations from the staff. Then maybe call a few to get the specifics to make sure they have what you want.

We stayed at the Best Western Gateway Inn and Suites right near Dr. K's office in Aurora. The room was very reasonable, like $60.00 a night. I told them I was having surgery and they gave me a handicapped room on the first floor. It was very convienent. The rooms and hotel were clean. What was nice is that each room had a pretty decent sized mini fridge and microwave in it. I could put my Jello, broth and stuff in the fridge, or heat up my broth in the micro. Since we also had my daughter along, we were able to put a gallon of milk for her in the fridge too. The hotel had a pool and a whirlpool. My husband and daughter enjoyed it. They also had free continental Breakfast in the morning (with a waffle maker - not for you, but your traveling companions ) On weeknights, they also had a mini happy hour. Free cans of beer on ice, some wine (wasn't very good, but free) and chips and salsa. My husband had a beer or two each night, so he was happy. They also had a computer you could use for free. I used it to post on lapbandtalk, and to check in for our flight home. There are a lot of nice, casual restaurants around there too.. macaroni Grill, TGIFriday's, Chilli's, Joe's Crab Shack,a brew pub, a mall and a Super Target. All looked like a fairly new development.
