Hotel Give
Very close to the Grand Hall where our event was held. French press coffee was great but a little messy to clean and make a second cup. On the 5th floor the roof slanted and needed vigilance to not hit one’s head. Car park in back was good. No AC but room cooled off enough in March for us.
