“Staff is amazing. Location is nice with hotels everywhere within walking distance and two hotels connected to the Center. Rooms are nice for meetings.”
“We had our wedding reception here. The food was great. The service was amazing. The honeymoon suite was fantastic (and complimentary!) We were running way ahead of schedule (an hour to be exact) and they went ahead and get the food ready and out early so we weren’t having to wait around. Everything was set up perfectly. They were easy to work with, had great ideas and an excellent staff.”
