This is a lovely venue and every seat in this small hall is a good one. My husband and I sat on the last of the 16 or so rows and still enjoyed it very much, no regets. I had previously attended events here, so I knew what to expect.

The facility is wheelchair accessible, although I don't recall seeing an accessible stall in the main women's restroom. I would call ahead to inquire about where they are located. There were plenty of stalls and the line moved quickly. Although the classic decor seems a bit dated, it is clean and VERY well maintained.

Parking is easy, there seems to be plenty of spaces to meet the demand when the event sells out. Our event was well attended, we arrived only 15 minutes before the performance and had no trouble.

We opted out of the concert dinning experience so I can't speak of that.

Spivey Hall is situated on the lovely campus of Clayton State College and University. I recommend allowing about an hour for campus exploration. A portion of the path around the lake is gravel, but the majority of the paths are well-paved. It is particularly beautiful in the Spring when the ornamental Cherry trees are in bloom. There is also in residence a pair of resident swans and often other water fowl as well, so you do need to be mindful of where you step.

This facility is one of the jewels of Clayton County and I would recommend it to all.
