Thank you very much for your insight. We have let all our 3rd party suppliers know that there are renovations on site, and have a message that goes automatically after booking if their site is capable of sending it. I am sorry to hear that you were unaware. We are doing our best to ensure everyone is well aware of our situation during our renovations.

Thank you very much for your feedback. This is great insight, and we appreciate your time in sharing it. We are looking at adding more seating during our upcoming renovations this fall, and lighting will also be addressed at that time. We hope to see you again soon!
