Report
Conference space review: If you're using this for conference space, it's great. They really do provide a full customer experience from start to finish including providing tech support and a catering team that is great. They even asked if I was happy with the drink selection and offered to change things out. That being said the food open were a bit expensive and I couldn't reduce my count on the day before.
That being said, I will definitely book this space again. The views and outdoor seating areas were fantastic and it really helps to audience take on the executive mindset. Several people commented on this.
