"Everything was fine, with the exception that 2 bears broke into my vehicle To prevent that this won’t happen to other customers, the front desk staff should let customers know about the risk of bears breaking into their vehicle, putting signs in the parking lot addressing the risk of bears and not to leave food inside the cars"
