Overall Score5.0/ 5
Wonderful service! Delightful and interested staff, especially the waitress in the dining room. I can't remember her name (African American who wore big circle earrings). She is terrific and due a big raise!

"Perfect Wedding Venue"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
My wife and I stayed at 21C during our niece's wedding which was held at the hotel. The reception was held in the art installation area which was absolutely lovely and the wedding was in the event area and that was perfect for a beautiful wedding and dance! The hotel room bed was super comfortable.
