Frequently Asked Questions from Guests


How do I tell if a guest has a Package? If the guest has a Package at the hotel, (s)he will receive a message in the guest room. The message is actually input into OPERA, which activates the message light on the guest room telephone. What time are Packages delivered to the Hotel? Most carriers deliver between 7am and 3:30 pm, Monday thru Friday, and between 9am and 1pm on Saturday. What if the guest says we have a Package but there is no Message in OPERA and not logged in GoConcierge? Assuming both Banquets and Concierge have respectively logged all Group and guest parcels received at hotel then this should be a rare occurrence. The majority of the time, this happens when the Package has someone elses name on it, or it has no name at all. Another reason may be that it was addressed to a non-guest. In this case, we must have a tracking number and run it through the carriers website to determine if it was in fact delivered. It is imperative to inquire as to whether they are here as part of:

1. a group and\or in house convention\meeting (Contact Banquets or catering for handling this issue) or 2. A transient guest expecting individual personal parcel(s) and or individual guest (contact the Concierge for handling this issue) How do I arrange for a Package to be delivered? NOTE: Typical delivery time is within 20 minutes however, during busy periods, guests should be advised it may take longer. Guest will dial 0 for the operator who will then notify a Bellman for package delivery After Package Room Hours: Security or Manager On Duty will have access to the Package Room to assist Banquet Housemen or Bellmen In the event that the Hotel inadvertantly accepts packages received more than three days prior to the start of an event or the guest's date of arrival, please be aware that additional storage fees will apply. If Storage exceeds three (3) days, a $5 per item per day Storage Fee will be assessed
