Due to staffing and kitchen constraints, food services are currently under review and more limited for our guests. Coffee/tea service is no longer available. If you are considering ordering continental breakfast and/or lunch, please call or email to confirm availability on your reservation date. If we can accommodate your group for food service, the menu is based on the chef's selection. Box lunches, catered meals, or special foods can be brought in by your group or delivered from outside vendors if our kitchen is unable to provide food service.

Internet access, projectors and screens, microphones, and other technology are available in certain rooms. Please share your event needs in advance. Onsite IT support staff is not provided.
