Information Collected for Reservations:
When a guest initiates a reservation, we must collect the guest name, email address and phone number in order to process the reservation for the guest’s stay. We also collect the credit card number which will be used for payment, the specified dates for arrival and departure and a reference to which property the reservation applies to.
Information Collected for Requests:
When a guest send us an inquiry regarding our services or other properties listed with us, either directly or via a 3rd party reservation site, we collect the guest’s name, email address, and any relevant information the guest provides us with in order to process and respond to the inquiry. We may also retain information such as the content and text of these inquiries as well as the content and text of our response to the guest. This information is used to review if we effectively address guest concerns.

We greatly appreciate comments and suggestions left as reviews on our properties or our management services. Not only do we value these comments and suggestions personally but we also know they help other guests decide if our company and our properties are a great choice.
