We fell in love with the layout and size of the property. There's plenty to do on property, so much so that it is a little intimidating. It was challenging planning the meeting there. I felt the sales and conference staff was not as responsive as other properties I've hosted meetings at. It was not smooth. I had to check and double check things all the time. I was left with a lot of stress and anxiety. It's a spectacular property, but they need to train their staff better to make it as painless for the meeting planner as possible.
Seemed like there were long lines wherever you went - the front desk being the worst.

Corporate Planner Insurance
I love this property. Especially in cold months. It's so nice to never wear a jacket and feel like you're outside. I was initially afraid it was too large and my attendees would get lost. However, it's laid out so that your assigned overnight rooms are also close to your meeting space. Tons of versatile meeting space. Some ballrooms even have built in stages, etc. Some of their clubs and lounges are also available for private parties. There's something for everyone.

The conference staff was so fantastic I felt as if they didn't need me onsite. Beautiful grounds, beautiful rooms, great meeting space and food/beverage were top-notch!

Jasmine C. Polar Air Cargo Worldwide Corporate Planner
One of the largest properties that is not also a casino. The largest obstacle when planning is dealing with the sheer size of the hotel. The conference services are excellent and the food is options are also quality and varied. The chefs are also great about working with items off menu. Rooms are nicely appointed and the top level suites are excellent quality. There is entertainment fairly close and proximity to airport is excellent. Would highly recommend to any group over 500 that needs lots of meeting space options.

Association Planner
The property was accommodating although spread out in a way where many of our attendees kept getting misdirected. In the evenings, the choices were taking a minimum taxi ride of 30 minutes to get anywhere or stay on site.

Pat H. Amcol International Corporate Planner
The property is lovely and the atrium is simply gorgeous. They have a great spa and off-site golf course that is phenomenal. However, the hotel is very difficult to navigate and many people got lost. I felt they did not have adequate staff on hand to assist with different needs. The likelihood that I would use this property in the future is slim.

Great experience with this property. The hotel lobby, if you can call it a lobby, is spectacular. Had a very good eating experience in all the venues at the hotel. Rooms are spacious and nice. Shopping nearby, and river attractions. Loved it!

The property is enormous, so be prepared to walk. The property also does a good job in distinguishing itself from the convention side once you are hotel side. Overall it I loved this property.
