Very small plain Jane type banquet room next to the bar on the ground floor of the hotel. Nothing special about the room. Would be OK for a very small party (50 or less). Food prepared and served by the establishment. Parking limited but paved. Approximately 20 miles west of Modesto in small farming town of Westley. The last I heard was that the food was very good.
