the following is direct from the mangament of the Presidente regarding the visitors policy.

We have two main reasons for the one visitor policy: theft and noise. We have learned from experience that most incidents of theft and disturbance are caused by guests having more than one visitor in their room. The points made by the members on the forum are correct. One visitor will distract the guest while the other makes the robbery. Also, late night complaints regarding noise or disturbances have been down considerably since we implemented this policy. We are just trying to maintain a peaceful atmosphere that can be enjoyed by all.

Keeping that idea in mind, we are encouraging visitors to observe a dress code as not to offend other guests. Granted, this could be a very long discussion as what “offends” people. We are just requesting the ladies to carry a jacket/sweater and throw it on when they walk into the Hotel. They are asked several times to help us out. If we get no collaboration from them, they are barred. It is not that hard to comply with.

Finally, nothing has changed. The reason we are now giving cards to the visitors is so we’ll know when they leave and how long they are inside. It has nothing to do with charging extra, etc. For security reasons we like to know who’s inside the room area. Since we added the new counter and increased the security personnel, now we can control it better.

We do expect visitors to cooperate by returning the cards when they leave; same as in any building in America where there are controls at the entrances. By law we can’t keep their IDs, so we write down their info and assign them a card.

That small counter in front of the elevators is meant to control who goes up to the rooms and into the lobby, same as the counter on the second floor by the glass door. Since we have a Casino and the Skybox on the second floor, lots of non guests walk by at all times, day and night. We can’t allow for non guest to enter the room area, so we need to watch the doors and elevators closer. We were toying with the idea of adding a door on the first floor (not a metal detector), but it was too much of an eyesore and an obstacle, so we gave up on it.



We try to make the entire thing as quick and hassle free as we can. That’s why we invested in the computer system that allows us to speed up the registration of repeat visitors and that lets us know if someone has been barred. Believe me; we keep barred visitors out for everyone’s protection. Some of these barred visitors are alleged thieves, trouble makers, drug abusers, etc. That is why we also added the free key-coded oversized security boxes to make safeguarding things easier. We made it a point to make them big enough to fit laptops.



As for the Master Suite, since it is somewhat separated from the rest of the rooms and the noise doesn’t carry as much, our staff is instructed to allow for more than one visitor at a time.

The overall idea remains to try and make it more peaceful, enjoyable and safer for everyone.

Have a great year, and thank you for your continued patronage of the Hotel Presidente!
