The space is fantastic. I loved how you can expand the room if you end up with more attendees than expected, or reduce the size of the room if fewer than you'd hoped turn up. The helpfulness of the staff was also a highlight.

Everything went extremely smoothly, I don't have any complaints and I would happily hire the space again.
