Oktoberfest Review Ample parking with the venue conveniently located right next to it. The food menu is actually better than Hilton’s, and the dessert corner is a pleasant surprise. Even the... read more ambiance, with the lively local bands and vibrant energy, is top-notch. A complimentary local beer is included with the ticket (one mug), but be prepared for a bit of sticker shock with the fancier beers like mango or lime clover – they’re overpriced, and even water is 400 bucks a bottle. The buffet ticket is definitely worth it, but I’d avoid splurging beyond that. The staff were friendly and attentive, doing their best to address any issues and ensure a great experience. Overall, it’s a 5-star event!

I have been to this hotel for different occasions (weddings/buffets) for the past few years. The staff is friendly and accommodating to guests' requests. In terms of buffets (lunch and dinner both),... read more the spread was quite good, and everyone got something for their choice. The taste of food ranges from average to very good depending on the item. I would like to mention the Lamb Stew, which was available on the day we went for dinner (Dec 2024). That dish was so simple yet so flavorful. Spices didn't overpower the taste of meat.
