Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
They'll hit you up for money forever.
Recirculating dollars in our community shouldn’t require us to reduce our standards of service.
All the bathrooms were stopped up very nasty. There was no air very hot in this place and it is super small for an event. Elevators had issues.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
Awesome staff and venue.
Nice space, but slow internet.
Conveniently located near the train station in Oakland. Large rooms available for rental. Audio setup is provided. Not sure if they charge for that as well.
