How does Maggie's compare with a hall or a hotel?
A community hall leaves the work to you. A hotel fits room hire around its bedrooms. Maggie's is a hosted venue: rooms are the whole job.
| Community hall | Maggie's | Hotel | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who looks after you | A key in a lockbox, or a caretaker | On-site hosts, all day | Reception, busy with check-ins |
| Room set-up | You move the tables | Set to your layout before you arrive | Set up, often by agency staff |
| Tech | Bring your own projector | Screens with Mac and PC wireless casting, HDMI cables and 1Gb fibre WiFi, all tested | Available, often charged extra |
| Tea and coffee | Bring your own | In the room, all day, included | Timed breaks, charged per delegate |
| Parking | Street parking, if you are lucky | Free 50-space car park outside, M57 30 seconds away | Paid, or limited |
| Feel | Tired, sometimes damp | Calm, spotless and beautifully designed, with oil diffusers filling the air with a lovely scent | Corporate and anonymous |
| Built for | Everything at once | Training and meetings. It is the whole job. | Bedrooms. Room hire is a sideline. |
| Price | Cheap, you do the work | Honest day rates, everything included | Premium, to cover the hotel |
| Where the money goes | Building upkeep | Maggie's Meals and Knowsley community support | Shareholders |
