What We Ask of Guests

Already secured Lock & Leave? Wonderful — our team handles the rest. Simply leave the amenity badges & parking passes on the counter, lock the doors, and you're on your way. No need to work through the checklist below.

Prefer that same "leave the badges, lock the door, and go" simplicity? Lock & Leave must be prearranged in advance — we're happy to send our cleaning team on your behalf for $119 off-peak / $189 peak. Just text Mandy to see if it can be accommodated. If full-service checkout hasn't been prearranged, please complete the items below before you go.
