Great venue for conference days or events. Train to North Richmond and then short walk to the venue. You can stay overnight if the conference runs over a few days. CLC has accommodation. Accommodation is clean and good quality. Parking at Tribeca in Albert St has early bird parking. It’s About a 10 minute walk to the Leadership Centre.

Presented at the Metropolitan Term 2 Seminar for the Catholic Development Network at the Catholic Leadership Centre yesterday and all of the facilities, staff and catering were excellent!

A wonderful place to stay or have a conference. Staff are thoughtful, attentive and professional. Catering is excellent; rooms are fresh, modern and clean; conference facilities outstanding. Highly recommended in every aspect.

Service is great, food was okay, I think I just ordered something I wasn't expecting and it is noisy because the building design echoes. Maybe some soft furnishings would dampen the sound and brighten the place up a bit. Room to grow into a great little venue.
