Salvatorian Hall is a hidden gem that I would have never discovered if I hadn't been a hostess at…read moremy mom's class reunion. It's the kind of place you might overlook if you're not aware of what it is. The grounds are well-maintained, and you can constantly see the staff working hard to keep everything looking pristine. The hall itself is spacious, featuring a stage, a kitchen for cooking, a bar area, and a main hall that can host a variety of events. During this event, they made good use of the DJ on the stage, set up several round tables for dining, and the catering company provided the food, while we utilized the bar area for cold beverages. The food was just okay, but there was plenty of it served buffet-style. My only complaint was that five people were in need of forks. Although everyone spoke English, when I asked for forks, the lady immediately started speaking in another language, which made me feel uncomfortable. She had a thick accent when she explained the situation. Eventually, they both spoke in English. This experience almost made me consider writing a negative review, but I wanted to evaluate my overall experience of the event. The hall has plenty of restrooms, and they are kept clean as well. Overall, although the space is a bit older, it is very well maintained and seems perfect for hosting events.

I attended a function here where they were able to bring in live entertainment, decorations and catering. The room was huge and offered ample space for a dance floor in the middle while still allowing numerous tables. They have restrooms nearby the large party room, coat check, and room for a nice sized bar. Everything you would need for a large gathering. If I lived in Indiana I would definitely consider renting this hall.

Therefore, our Mother's Day dinner was an easy choice for once. Her favorite dish at Cooper's Hawk is the Shrimp & Scallop Risotto. She absolutely loves that dish! I have a few: The Shrimp & Scallop Risotto, The Jambalaya, and The Chicken Madiera (i. e. Chicken Marsala). Today, I ordered the Risotto, along with the Calamari and salads (Caesar for her, House for me). We also got Pretzel Bread. We washed everything down with a nice bottle of Gewurztraminer (German sweet white). She was happy, so the whole house was happy.

Let me start by saying that the staff were amazing, they were just working with what they had. Here is a list of my issues in our 2 bedroom suite ($865.00/ 4 nights) 1. Bathroom sink stopped up 2. Tub in desperate need of replacement 3. Privacy curtain missing in one bedroom so staff pulled the one that was there and thumb tacked it to the wall 4. Privacy curtain in living room area was missing, they offered to put a blanket up to the window, really for $865.00. Furniture in the living room needs to be in the TRASH, I would not sit on that couch. The chairs at the kitchen table were literally coming apart. 5. Ceiling light in kitchen had no cover 6. The refrigerator was dented all over 7. Door handle missing on bedroom door 8. And do not get me started on the condition of the carpet I made 3 calls to Marriot to discuss the matter and was told each time that someone would give me a call, it has been 2 weeks and I have NOT received a return call. I will never stay at this property again.
