fantastic family celebration

excellent staffefficient servicebusy sundayrude receptionist
We celebrated our engagement party with our families in the toulouse suite. staff (events and bar) were excellent. They were efficient, polite, and professional. service and food were amazing!!! it was a busy bank holiday sunday with other events occurring, yet we were particularly impressed. we would highly recommend this venue for a special event.
no one was present at the desk upon check-in. i contacted reservations to request assistance. the receptionist seemed rather rude.
