Clients who hold conferences here praise the front desk staff, the AV crew and the chefs. One says the food was really nice and the set-up was stunning. Another has run its annual conferences here for years and calls it the venue of choice. A national photographic convention, with plenary speakers, workshops, trade stands and meals, was held here over four days. The website notes customer service awards. For a venue built around conferences, the reviews speak most to the people who run the day.
