"The road leading into the property is a little hidden- make sure you keep an eye out for the office. There was no staff when I checked in- it was all done by a computer kiosk. It’s not difficult but I was aided by watching the couple in front of me. Have DL and credit card in your hand. When this process is complete- the kiosk prints instructions concerning room location, # of beds and how to use the digital lock. Also provided instructions for checking out—sounds complicated but it’s not. Parking is right in front of your room. Room was clean."
