Meals

The hotel will also provide a luncheon buffet for WCTU delegates and family during the Convention at about $8. We urge as many attendess as possible take advantage of this special deal
to ensure that it remains available throughout our stay. Remington's, the hotel restaurant/bar is open for evening meals. The menu includes a variety of light items (sandwiches, soups and salads) which can be consumed in the adjacent Canterbury Room to avoid the tavern atmosphere.

In addition, there are many close-by restaurants, including most mid-range chains which offer family dining opportunities. However, be sure to reserve Thursday night, August 6th for the Convention Banquet.
