I toured it, and was really disappointed. It had an awful smell and and even had the opportunity to see them setting up for an event. A lot of their supplies are REALLY run down, the flooring pretty much needed to be replaced 5 years ago- and their dance floor was really beat up.

Hmm I'm pretty sure this is where one of my FI's best friends had his reception and I thought it was gorgeous! It was vintage and beautiful. Maybe it's different when you see it all decorated vs. not?

My sister had her reception at the downtown location but they use the same event staff for both.  I know that she struggled a bit with communication for her 2009 wedding because they had lots of turnover.  Their catering manager that ended up taking over was a total azz and my parents pretty much had an intervention with him because of his pissy attitude.  I have no idea if he is still there.  That being said, both the venues are totally gorgeous  - especially when they're all decorated up.

Are you talking about the downtown location or the Summit Avenue location? We toured the Summit clubhouse and found it to be very shabby and run-down. Worn carpets, old creaky floors, etc. Not impressive at all for a private club.

This was the one I toured, it was a huge letdown- especially for that part of St. Paul.

Ohh I didn't realize there were two. The one I was at, the reception was upstairs in a large room with huge windows. There was a bar room at the end.. I don't know, I'm terrible at explaining things. I really don't know which one it was but maybe it was the other one? It's been a while, haha.

 St. Paul- This place has all kinds of problems..
I have had several experiences with them and they suck. Pissy, stuck up staff that is disorganized and unprofessional. 
I also  went to a co-workers  reception early (to change clothes) and they were way behind. Chairs and tables not set up or anything.  Other vendors were pitching in to help because they were so concerned and not getting help from the venue.
