Once you sign in, the page of available rooms will appear.
At the top of the page, the date, start time of the reservation, group size, and features can be chosen. The duration of your reservation can be a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. After choosing these options, the screen will automatically load all of the available rooms that meet your needs.
The rooms will either be marked with a red “Unavailable” sticker or a green “Available” sticker. The rooms with the “Available” sticker are open for the requested reservation time.
You can choose any of the “Available” rooms by clicking the “Reserve” button at the bottom of the room description.
