Maybe the place itself is fine, but the lady at the ticket counter was super rude. The venue was overcrowded — no free seats anywhere, the bar full also.

We have only been there for hiring the top room for Dungeons & Dragons themed RPG events, as there's so few places that are available to do tabletop events that aren't totally packed out (like Playce).
