  We thought about using them and did a fair amount of research. The only reason we aren't using them is location-95% of our guest list is out of state and there aren't enough hotels close.
        The reviews are mostly positive and we liked all the interactions with the people we had there. Encanterra is nice too-but a couple of points-Encanterra charges for the use of the bridal suite any more than 2 hours. There's also not a good place for the guys to get ready-on our tour we were told that the guys usually go to the QT  down the street.
     Windmioll inclused unlimited use of their changing areas and the one for the bride is awesome-even has a shower, also enough space for mom and BP.
       I would look into a different cake baker as I wasn't impressed with the samples from her.
      If you haven't looked at the reviews on WeddingWire.com you should-also yelp.com.

  Good luck on the tour. They may now have a sane policy so be sure to ask. The facility is really nice and the food's really good, but we did prefer Windmill.
