Fabulous location, easy to follow instructions and Kate was wonderful to deal with and made everything easy. Highly recommend as a central, easy to get to venue that is reasonably priced and next to so many cafes and restaurants.

Great location, so central to everything. Room was quiet and spacious.

Difficulty connecting Mac laptops to the SMART TV. It only seemed to work for PC's.
