• Upon the first noise complaint, we will issue a warning to the offending guest.
• If a second complaint is received, everyone but the registered guest(s) will be required to leave the offending guest room.
• In the event of a third complaint, the offending guest(s) will be evicted from the resort without refund.

• Personal food and beverage items not sold through the resort may only be consumed inside guest rooms. For guests occupying the motel style West building rooms, personal food and beverage items may also be consumed directly outside the guest room door.
• Grills and other cooking devices are not permitted anywhere on the resort property.
• No food or beverage items may be consumed in any public areas of the hotel.
• Any food or beverage items purchased through the resort must remain in the licensed area where the items were purchased. Transporting or consuming any alcoholic beverage items throughout the hotel public areas is strictly prohibited.

• First, find two exits nearest your room. Be sure they are unlocked and unblocked. Then count doors between your room and exits so you’ll have a reference point if it’s smoky.
• When you hear an alarm, ACT, don’t investigate.
• If fire is in your room, get out and close the door. Once out, report the fire.
• If fire is not in your room, leave if you can. First, feel your door, if it’s cool, open it slowly and go to the nearest exit. Crawl if there is smoke, fresher air will be at the floor. Take your key card so you can go back if you can’t use the exits.
• NEVER USE ELEVATORS DURING A FIRE. They could stop at the fire floor, or could cease to operate.
• If your door is hot, don’t open it. Your room may be the safest place to be. Seal all cracks with wet towels. Shut off fans and air conditioners. Signal out your window. Call the Front Desk and wait to be rescued.
