manatee convention center

Large centrally located, easy to access from every direction. Right on Rt 301 @ Haben Blvd, Palmetto. Large circle at front entrance to drop off passengers. Handi parking not as close as it should be.

Nice building - plenty of parking - usually a clean facility. The place is NOT an inexpensive place to rent yet they charge vendors for a chair to use at events. Food - overpriced (audience is captive so they can charge anything they want) and not that great. Glad I only need to use the facility once a year!!

I have watched this place for 12 years and have yet to undersatnd why they wont promote funtions where vendors have paid thousands to come there and no people come cause they dont know the show is on. Even a plastic sign by the road would be better than nothing. You se thepatking lot has some cars but you dont know why. If your stuck at the red light long enough you might get to find out whats going on. I think they are ripp offs and stupid for not advertising their events more

Getting into and out of this place is a nightmare. Traffic pattern makes no sense - glad it was not a major event. They have various events weekly - the events are good and varied - but the venue needs help! MAJOR help!!

We attended a AAA event here in January, and found the updated facility to be very well done from the bathrooms, to the meeting rooms. Whoever did the plans and the updating should be complimented.

I understand that you rented out the center for this show, but the mens bathroom service area stinks. Close those cleaning areas.
