Room was a great size - just what we needed.
There was no air-con or cooling system so we had to keep the doors open on a day that was above 30 C. It would have been good to know this as it got a little bit uncomfortable.

Good room, good stage, good cantina space, good toilet facilities. Not far from the overground station.
It was a bit expensive for the needs of our event. The entrance could be spruced up but that is just an observation not a criticism.
