Overall Satisfaction
The reviews for the Future Business Centre (FBC) are mixed, with some reviewers expressing high levels of satisfaction while others have major concerns.
Positive Comments
The staff at FBC are consistently praised for their friendly and helpful nature. Many reviewers have had positive experiences with the events and meeting rooms, and the newly refurbished conference room is particularly well-received.
Negative Comments
However, one reviewer had a major issue with the lack of disabled access, specifically the non-functioning lift. This reviewer reported feeling embarrassed and frustrated when they were unable to use the lift due to their mobility issues.
Additional Comments
Another reviewer mentions that the building itself has some drawbacks, such as limited parking and a concrete design that may not be to everyone's taste. Additionally, one reviewer points out that the lack of air conditioning in the summer months can be a problem.
