Horrible service
I booked a company meeting there two weeks ago and the service and foord was awful. It's service with a sneer. Usually when I book a large group(40-50) I have the catering and sales managers at least come and introduce themselves. The rooms were hot, and most people called and asked for fans for their rooms. I would not recommend this for groups or individuals
