My wife had a very long day, a Saturday, getting up at 3 am at our home in Boise, ID, flying to…read moreDenver to purchase a car, then driving it back to our home. I asked AI what a good halfway point would be for us to bed down for the night, and Evanston, WY, was recommended. On our drive up, I researched the hotels in Evanston and settled on the Holiday Inn Express, based on the reviews. I was able to get a room with two queen beds at a very reasonable rate. We rolled into Evanston about 9:30 pm. Parking is free and there is plenty of it. Weston was at the front desk, a very friendly gentleman who had been working hard but was still personable and attentive. He very graciously, and without asking, put us on the third floor away from I-80. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, and the one we patronized, The Lincoln Highway Tavern, I recommend. Our room was clean, a must for my wife, spacious, and very nice. The beds were reasonably comfortable (I never sleep well away from home), and the room had the usual amenities, including a mini fridge, microwave, and hairdryer. The bathroom shower was a standard size, the water was hot and the pressure was adequate, and the bathroom fan worked well. It was very quiet; no complaints of noise. We did partake of the complimentary breakfast, which was open at 6:30 on Sunday, earlier than I'm used to, but very much appreciated since we wanted to get on the road quickly. The coffee was decent, the OJ yummy, and the scrambled eggs and biscuits were OK. The bacon was crispy but lukewarm, and the sausage, like so many hotels, appeared to be steamed instead of grilled, and was cold. The Hispanic woman attending the breakfast area was very nice. The female desk clerk checking us out was also pleasant. In the future, on trips to visit our son and his wife in Ft. Collins, we would definitely stay here again. It's a gem.

I was not expecting much from a HI Express, but given the nightly rate: I sure did expect more than…read moreI got. There are not many options in the area, so I guess they get away with charging a premium rate, but at least try to deliver premium service. Not much going on around the property and no sitting area around the property to enjoy an evening.

The Logan Depot was the first train station in Cache Valley & the History is in the bones of the…read morebuilding. You can see where people wrote names and messages upon the walls. The weigh station is intact and many other things give a historic vibe while having been classed up with modern design. It is owned by Milieu Design so it makes sense. I was impressed by the versatility of the space. There is a large room on the south side of the building, another large room on the North with plenty of area to walk between them. What's great for events is the ability to open large train station doors on the rear (west) side of the building because it connects to a beautifully finished patio. So for events the ability to customize the layout, provide a good stroll for attendees and not feel cramped into a small space is fantastic! Perhaps the best thing is how photogenic the space can be! The dark wood, plenty of light and historic vibe makes for amazing pics. It is a great place to get engagement photos

This was my first time at the Cinebites event and overall, it was ok. I think the experience could…read morehave been better and I'll outline why. When bought the tickets, there was no indication as to what was on the menu. One of the people in my group has a nut and shellfish allergy, but there was no where on the ticket purchase screen to note this. Normally, reservations would have this option to make sure they can prepare ahead of time. I took a chance and hoped they would ask this when we arrived. We came as a party of four to the Lady and the Tramp movie and the event was listed from 6:30-9:00 but doesn't mention when the doors would open. We arrived at 6:15 thinking that we could sit down and use the facilities before the movie started, but the doors were locked and there was no sign. Several other customers did the same and I assume they were under the same impression. Would have been helpful in the email communication to let customers know when the doors open so they aren't arriving too early and having to wait. When we sat down, the hostess let us know it was open seating and to not leave too many gaps, which is fine, but their setup was not exactly couple friendly. Each table could seat 3 people and since we were a group of 4, the 4th person had to sit in the next table, which felt a little disconnected. One small popcorn bag was placed for every 3 people, so if you had a 4th person in the group, they would have either shared with the group they came with or with a stranger. The menu was on each table, there were no ingredients or allergy mentions. The menu looked standard and the dishes listed don't typically have any shellfish or nuts. There were no announcements made when everyone arrived and no one to greet us other than the hostess at the front. We waited for a while and then at 6:52, the movie started. One the movie started playing, we noticed immediately that the speakers on the left side of the room weren't working. It was hard to hear the movie the rest of the night and I'm not sure if this was just a technical issue that day. When the food started arriving, we had one dish that had almonds and we had to ask the server to send it back because of the allergy. I asked if there were any more items on the list with shellfish or nuts, but they seemed confused at the ask and didn't know. This could potentially cause severe reactions and the Cinebites teams should take this in consideration. Luckily the salad was remade and no issues came up. When the movie was done, the staff came out with a microphone to thank everyone for coming and then had a parade of the staff. It was cool to see those that worked there to make things happen that evening. Now knowing they had a microphone, it would have been nice for them to welcome guests in at the beginning and given directions to those who have never been here before. While I know this is not to the same level as the other Movie and Dinner events out there, it was something new to try out and nice that Utah has something like this.

These guys bent over backward to make our day absolutely perfect! The gardens are AMAZING and I could not hear enough about them all night. They are so well maintained and so gorgeous, I can't imagine the amount of time spent on them. The building is always immaculate, just like the gardens, and the gift shop is fantastic (and CRAZY reasonable. Btw.) There are dried flowers picked directly from the gardens that you can buy and decorate your home with in the gift shop and they smell AMAZING. We loved our night. We loved our experience. We love the Lavender House. (AND YOU WILL TOO!)

I am writing this review from a guest's perspective, not someone who hired the venue directly, so…read moretake it for what it's worth. My first impression was that this is right on a busy street and has very little parking. It's not an attractive place from outside-it's very dated and looks like a retail space-maybe an old vacuum shop or something. It doesn't scream "special event." Inside, there's a large room that can be setup in a variety of ways. When I first arrived, the room was setup for the ceremony with chairs and some benches. The group went outside for photos (in the parking lot) and when we returned it was reset for dinner. The room can be versatile, but it's nothing spectacular. If you're looking for a low-key venue for a small group, maybe this is a good fit. But if you want an elevated, beautiful experience, you might want to keep looking.
