Once you collect your luggage, enter the hotel as quietly as possible and proceed up the stairs to our room on the Mezzanine level where room keys will be distributed; students then will go quietly to their respective rooms.
 
Please note the following: no person is allowed on anyone else’s floor or in any other person’s room at any time, for any reason! Do not let your room door slam behind you! Do not horse around in the room! Do not make noise beyond normal conversation! There is no smoking! This is a highly rated business hotel.  As such, all of us must be courteous to those people in the hotel who must get up in the morning and go to work.

Students must be in their own rooms. Chaperones will conduct “bed-checks.”
