I hosted a company training event in the Mercer Room and it went wonderfully! The staff there is incredibly helpful - special shout out to Patrick for being so thoughtful throughout the event!! We hosted about 175 people, and we were fairly tig...
ht in the room, but even so the space was perfect. I'd say the Mercer Room would be ideal for 150. We were able to cater food in very smoothly, and the staff was incredibly helpful managing the vendors, trash, etc. If our staff size doesn't increase I'll be using this space again and again!!

Great location to host an event. Lots of parking. Wide and spacious entrance and lobby. Modern lighting and finishing touches. Enjoy looking at a million dollar houses surrounding the event center. Missing 1 star because the bathroom and lobby ...
smell could be improved. There's a thin layer of foul smell.
