Nice Experience
Overall, very nice experience with nice surprises in the garage.
Complimentary baskets and beverage was a very nice touch and really appreciated.
Would have preferred to receive the check in instructions a bit earlier, instead of strictly 24 hours prior. this can be inconvenient if you are in an area that has not internet access.
