Interaction with guest

I always like to personally meet my guests on arrival to hand over keys and to make sure the check-in process runs smoothly for them and any general questions they may have regarding how things work. Occasionally if I am on holiday and cannot be there to meet them there is a key safe system where they can collect the keys. The code is sent to them in advance and they are free to call me anytime during their stay. I have met so many wonderful guests over the years and will continue to provide an excellent first class service.
