Guest interaction
We are friendly people who respect guests' privacy. We are full-time professionals who make every effort to meet all our guests when they arrive so you feel comfortable with your surroundings. If we cannot be present upon your arrival, guests can self-check-in using keypad entry. If we can help you enjoy your stay in the area even more, we are happy to offer friendly guidance, information, and tips! We live in the floors above, but we leave guests to themselves, unless, of course, they might need something. A binder is available in the desk in the foyer with brochures, bus routes, and other information on activities in the area. We are always available by text if you have questions!
