I'm not sure what most people were discussing in terms of smell. We rented out the dining hall for a meeting, it smelled a little stale, like cigarettes, but the lounge wasn't too far away and people were definitely smoking. It wasn't bad though. I usually get migraines and it didn't bother me.
No Ramona cheese smell? I don't know if it's because we rented the venue late, from 10p to 1am and they weren't cooking. The pizza was REALLY good. I found the sauce to be delicious. The staff was courteous and very respectful. Personally, I thought the decor in the dining hall was quaint. I liked it.
I'm planning on going back.
