Pros: I enjoyed the show I saw here. We found parking in the neighborhood, but there's also a parking lot. The theatre is pretty. Cons: small women's bathroom with 4 stalls for thousands of attendees. The seats in the theatre were uncomfortable.
BEAUTIFUL place for the entire family! The pool is amazing, not very deep. The coolest pool I have seen in a hotel. I think it is the biggest I have ever seen. It is a fun place but you can also relax. Food is delicious and service was on point. I will return for sure!
Came here for N.Flying's World Tour concert and it was better than expected. The venue is small so you feel pretty close to the stage even if you are on the balcony. I was in the balcony center and still had a great view of the stage and didn't have any issues. There was a girl standing blocking a bit of the view but that was not something the staff could stop. I bet the view from the front floor would have been very good as well. They had a free parking lot across from the theatre but that fills up fast. The good thing is that it is residental area around so you can easily find some street parking on the weekdays. The seats are also pretty comfortable and the entire sound experience was great too. Great pick for a concert venue for a tight knit space between artist and fans.
Went to see premier of Two Sleepy People. Loved the old-timey vibe of this theater, coupled with the intimate cul-de-sac it's tucked away into. Need to visit in the future :)
Very charming venue! It seems like every seat in here would be a great seat. Two free parking lots! I would definitely visit again! Everyone was very nice. Great concert experience!
