“My brother and I were here for the annual Star Trek convention....and had a blast getting our nerd on. The facilities were absolutely incredible....great spaces for the convention, clean and abundant restrooms, very helpful and friendly staff, and everything was well organized and flowed well for all of the Con events. Great job....and we can't wait to come back next year and do it again.”

“Attendance Supernatural Convention here. We really didn't have much of an experience with the convention service, however the convention space was very nice and well kept up. The water service was great because they feature bottled water in coolers, not tap water in pitchers. They did not offer any food at all.
