We had made reservations for services through Angel's View but we notified them we might make some changes to our location. They followed-up with me regarding the changes and proactively coordinated with a third party to make sure we could still receive the service we had scheduled. The "changing location" scenario was very stressful but the Angel's view team was so very helpful (and again, proactive) that it removed some of the stress. I would absolutely recommend them for the services they provide.

We had our wedding here in December 2019. The venue is beautiful and iconic and has wonderful…read moreviews. The business that runs it, however, is awful. Sunsphere Events staff (specifically the owners and operators) were extremely rude to us and our family on our wedding day, but also neglected to set up a third of the tables and chairs we'd requested and they had approved. A third of our guests had to stand through dinner and while everyone remained in good spirits, this is very frustrating from our perspective. We even had some guests who left before dinner because they couldn't find seats. In follow-up emails they've been untruthful to us in order to cover up their mistakes, and they also claim they were not rude when we had everyone who interacted with them directly tell us otherwise. It's incredibly frustrating to have an otherwise perfect day marred by such an incompetent and gross company. I would absolutely recommend having your event at the Sunsphere, just wait until a different company is running the venue.

I reserved the 6th floor for my company's holiday party in December of last year…read more Pros: This is an iconic and fun venue, and the view is great. It was convenient that we could play our own music over the speakers. They provided a microphone so we were able to conduct a rousing game of trivia. They set up a Christmas tree for us, and the lights reflecting off the windows created a beautiful ambiance. Cons: The event staff advertises the 6th floor as capable of accommodating as many as 150 seated guests. My group contained about 140 seated guests, and space was tight. On a related note, several members of my group complained about the availability of the restrooms. (I didn't see it myself, but I heard that there was only one stall for men and one for women.) Taking all of this into account, I'd say that this floor should probably be capped at 100 seated guests. When I arrived an hour before the event to take care of any last minute details, everything was supposed to be set up, but due to some internal staff miscommunication, it wasn't. I helped them set up the tables and chairs for the better part of an hour. They had another holiday party going on at the same time on the 8th floor, which divided the attention of the Sunsphere staff and also limited the availability of the elevators. The table linens they provided weren't clean on either side, and the chairs and chair cushions could definitely benefit from an upgrade. Also, this is more of a personal issue, but the event staff directed me to park in the fire lane to unload the party supplies, and while I was parked there, I got a ticket. This is a pretty mixed review, which is representative of my group's reactions to this venue, but my overall impression was negative, especially since no one on staff followed up with me after the event to ensure satisfaction. With a few tweaks, this experience could have been a lot better.

Since we drove 9 hours from Maryland, staff allowed us to check in early. We are so grateful for this opportunity as it was a long drive and we were exhausted. Room was immaculate. We booked a studio which included a kitchenette, full size fridge, washer/dryer, and balcony. Towels, cloths were fully stocked so that was great too. No daily breakfast but we did not care because the room was so comfortable and we were able to heat our own food. Staff were friendly and welcoming, even offering suggestions for activities, and coupons. There are also amenities on site such as pool, hot tub, and gym. Even if you stay at Mill Springs, you still have access to the sister property amenities next door. We loved staying here and will definitely be back. This hotel is also very accessible. Handicap parking located directly next to elevators and flat surface to easily walk (or roll) into the elevator. Shower did not have a tub, but a shower with a door to easily step into. I wish they had more handicap parking, but overall very accessible. I will be able to come back and visit with my mom who uses a wheelchair, with no trouble at all.
