I had the extreme pleasure of working with the staff at The Avenue Hotel as the tournament organizer and director of Janus 2012.

On the website it states a Restaurant and Bar what they fail to tell you is that it is not open! it is closed! and make sure you are aware that the rooms are outside rooms with stairs no elevators, this is not good for senior citizins or handicap.
