There was ample parking in the back and enough tables and chairs for guests to sit and feel comfortable.

I definitely would recommend!

That said, I had coffee at one place, ate a meat loaf lunch at another, pawed the car windows and did some test sitting at a few dealerships, drove around the University of Toledo campus (which I didn't know is a very good school for STEM disciplines), and put the cherry on top of these few hours by visiting the Toledo Botanical Garden. I walked the garden and took photos. It was warm and humid, so I didn't really relax and sit a spell. Like many public gardens, the Toledo Botanical Garden, out toward the western end of the city, mixes up formal garden spaces with European cues and more organic spaces, meaning they are natural in affect and display very little rigid planning. I was fairly amazed how, as you moved along, these different vistas came into view. Everything was cohesively put together and you could enjoy the different environments they've curated for you. The Toledo Botanical Garden is part of the city metro park system, which I learned from other reviews. Thus, being under this umbrella might mean that the park is free of charge ... and it is! For this aspect and for delivering more than I had expected, having pulled it from a "top things to do" list, I believe the Toledo Botanical Garden handily earns 5 stars.

Parking is shared with a number of other businesses in the area. I did not have a problem in finding a parking spot. 130 people were at this 50th reunion. The hall accommodated them in a cozy but roomy space, utilizing the outside area as well. It was a cash bar, you could run a tab as I did. The food was excellent. They did have a staging area for a band or DJ. Everything went smoothly, Shorty's Back Forty exceeded my expectations.

Find someplace else for your party. The only good thing was the bar... they pour generously.

Right from the first meeting with Becky, we knew this was the right fit for the wedding reception. Our goal was to have all events for the weekend in Downtown Toledo and The Summit Event Center was perfect! The Hotel was a block away and all other events were close by within walking distance which made it easier for the guests. Becky is so informative and professional, always returning calls or emails within a day. Becky and her staff took so much stress out of the wedding reception planning. The free monthly tasting were so helpful. This gave us a chance to bring various people to the tastings to help choose the right food and see the venue. It also gave us an opportunity to get to know the staff. They exceeded our expectations! We wanted to customize our food and make it a fall theme. Chef Keith was so helpful and willing to figure out the right combinations of foods. The late night snack of chicken chunks and mac and cheese was a huge hit! Hannah, the Bar Manager, made a fall specialty drink with warm apple cider that was also a favorite with the guests. All of the waitstaff were attentive and polite making sure everything was as we had requested. The house DJ was an awesome choice! Having the use of the inventory of event decorations was a big money saver. We loved going thru the items to get ideas. The package pricing made it so much easier to plan the budget for the reception. Becky was so helpful in making changes to the package that fit our needs. Our families and friends had an excellent time from the delicious food and drinks to the fun dance music to the wonderful decorations, we highly recommend having an event at The Summit Event Center! Thanks to Becky, Hannah, Chef Keith and the rest of the staff! We made some awesome memories!

I was assured that they did only to find out that they cook the oatmeal in plastic, with a liner in the kettle for convenience reasons after the first morning I asked the front desk if they could make a request to the kitchen staff to remove the plastic and allow the kettle to do its job without injecting micro plastics into what should be a healthy breakfast. My request was denied as the kitchen staff refused to wash one more dish. Completely unbelievable. My next go to was the common known for hard-boiled eggs that Hampton in offers. But in this case, they aren't the legitimate shelled hard-boiled eggs, they offered the eggs soaked in some kind of formaldehyde again in the name of convenience for the staff. Ultimately the free breakfast here was not a breakfast at all, and I ended up spending money the entire week to eat in the morning because this management refused to consider their guests. The positive, the rooms were clean the water was hot and the pressure was good. I will never stay here again and don't recommend it, there are multiple other hotels in the area. I would recommend trying them first.
