In some respects, it was the perfect background for personalized flowers and decorations. Wine and champagne were marked up a bit more than I'm used to, but that's probably how a place like this stays in business. If we had to do it over again, we'd do it again, and that's a compliment.

Katy, Hubert, and the entire event staff at F&F were beyond amazing when it came to planning collaboration and venue services on wedding day for my team and our client.

I moved over to this hotel, and I was extremely pleased and happy to have a clean bathroom floor without someone else's hair, no mold in the shower, the room smelled clean, the hallways smelled clean. The furniture is not damaged like the other place and overall it was $20 cheaper per night. I am a lifetime platinum Marriott, Bonvoy, and current titanium but I might never stay at a residence Inn or Fairfield Inn again. Hilton seems to have cleaner rooms and maintains their property better. I appreciate that they have a restaurant on site. The workout room looks nice and the pool area looks clean. All I expect in a hotel is a clean room, comfortable bed with comfortable pillows, and a decent TV with Internet and you guys did a much better job than your competition. Congrats!

I would have been better off staying at the Hampton Inn next door. Breakfast buffet cost $14+tax For hard burnt potato chunks, scrambled egg pellets (old and overcooked), and bacon crumbs. There were a few other things, but nothing of note. The bacon crumbs, tho very greasy tasted good. All day coffee is only available during breakfast time, I was told. Otherr coffee is from a machine at $3-5 a small cup. Some of the staff are nice and friendly.
