Peterson Room alternatives

Hi everyone,

The Peterson Room is unavailable for weekend reservations, so I'm trying to come up with alternatives.

1) The South Campus Center - http://depts.washington.edu/sauf/scc/sccres/354.php

They have an area called the Crow's Nest, which over looks Portage Bay -- it's very nice and I've had receptions there. The capacity, however, is a max of 45, maybe 50. The SCCC also has larger meeting areas, which aren't as aesthetically attractive, but they all over look Portage Bay, which has a great view. There are also smaller classrooms which could serve as break out areas.

2) A hotel with conference space would get the job done, but it's not on campus, and I've never dealt with hotels in this capacity before. I get the feeling the prices would be pretty reasonable, however.

3) The HUB Ballroom and meeting rooms.

Let me know what you all think.
