What organizers usually ask

How does check-in and access work?

Entry is fully keyless. The same door code lets your team into the building and the suite, and a fob covers building amenities like the pool and gym once you're inside — no front desk line, no coordinating arrival times with a host.

Is parking available?

Yes, parking is available on request — let us know when you send your dates and we'll confirm details.

Can guests cook their own meals?

The suite has a full kitchen, and both Costco and T&T Supermarket are a short walk away, so teams staying multiple nights can stock up rather than eat out every meal.

What's the minimum stay?

2 nights is standard. Reach out with your dates if you need something shorter for a single event day.

How many people can the suite sleep?

Up to 7 — 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a queen sofa bed in the living room.

Is pricing negotiable for groups?

Rates are fixed and demand-based, shown live on the calendar above — the same price for everyone booking those dates. Coordinating multiple nights or need help with the second unit? Reach out and we'll help you sort it out.
