〰️ No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed on the property at any time, even if they are not staying overnight. For safety, city licensing, and compliance, everyone must be included in the reservation.

〰️ Failure to register the correct number of guests will result in the entire group being asked to leave without refund. Maximum occupancy is 3 guests.
