Review Summary

No one ever told me that I was paying over $100 and would not be able to use a bathroom. I spent a couple of hours trying to reach someone than I spent June 7 and 8th trying to get someone on the phone. 1 outhouse near the other Pavillion made it impossible for the elderly go up and down the hill to their car and drive down the street. If they did that it was not easy for them to climb the hill after they had to wait till they had a turn. There was a sign that said our Pavillion was rented hidden from public view. A party for my grandson for 50 people was reduced to 21 who were brave enough to stay. The party from 8 to 8 was reduced to 12 to 4:30. I want someone to contact me. The amount of money that was spent on food was costly and had to be thrown into garbage. We should of been told that we would not have a bathroom. We would of gone some where else
