The event was nicely done on Saturday. Love the mansion. Drinks were very difficult to get, longs lines, not enough staff or areas to get a drink. There was a very crabby man who seemed to be in charge. He was appropriate and keeping order but could have been much more personable and friendly. He was very rude.

The room itself was not great. Fan did not work, tv offered nothing (pairing to our device did not work), bed was mushy and not comfortable and there was a bad potpourri type odor in the room. In all, I do not feel the price per night was worth it. However, we did enjoy our time in Lake Geneva.
