Meeting · 12 guests · September 2026

Great venue. They actually moved us to a nicer room, which I think was to avoid noise from a nearby zumba class, which was very thoughtful. The food was excellent, the environment pleasant, clean and sophisticated. The coffee machine in our room broke at one point, but it was attended to immediately and the staff took a round of coffee orders and brought them from the bar while we waited for the fix, which was great.
