I had contracted the Inn and the party planner associated with it to host a 25th wedding anniversary party for my parents. I had never planned anything of the sort before, so I was very nervous about how the party would turn out. Also, I was horrified to read the reviews preceding this one, outlining the atrocities of the Inn and the parties it hosts! Suffice to say, I was uncomfortable about the situation, giving what I had read. The day of the party came, and everything went absolutely beautifully. The room was decorated elegantly and exactly as I had wanted. The catering and service staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The food was simple, but very tasty! Certainly some of the best-tasting catered food I've sampled. All the guests were impressed, and I had to do near nothing to prepare. The only snafu I had was in dealing with the DJ; he didn't have some songs I had particularly requested, but when the planner heard about this, a worker was sent out to buy CDs with the music I wanted! I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone was. I did not stay in the Inn, since I'm an Arcadia resident, but some of the party guests stayed there and did not complain about the lodging. Overall, I felt compelled to put a rave review of the party planning services the Inn offers. The previous review about a wedding reception gone wrong may be one unlucky case, so don't let that sway you! If you are considering the Inn for a party, I would highly recommend it. It is very reasonable for the high quality service it provides: a great value.
