Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I am deeply concerned to read about your experience and to hear that you felt unsafe during your time in the area. The safety and security of our guests, especially families traveling with children, is our absolute highest priority. While the areas outside of our property lines are public and beyond our direct control, we take all guest reports regarding the surrounding environment very seriously. We regularly communicate and work closely with local law enforcement and community community groups to monitor the neighborhood and ensure our guest environment remains secure. We completely understand how vital peace of mind is when traveling with your family, and we sincerely apologize that we fell short of providing that comfort for you. Your feedback has been shared directly with our security leadership team to review our current measures. We appreciate your candor, as it helps us understand where we need to focus our attention to better serve our guests. Sincerely, Sarah Rojas General Manager 619.226.8000
