The indoor shelter house was perfect. The check in and out process was easy. There are multiple electrical outlets and a microwave available. Many tables and chairs. The big windows allowed us to feel like we were outside while getting to enjoy the air conditioning on a very hot day. Parking is close. The restrooms are right next door. And the price is incredibly reasonable. We had a celebration of life and easily accommodated about 45 people. We will definitely rent this shelter again if we need to have a gathering.
