Service Desk

A Service Desk, attended by a Guest Services Representative, is located in the lobby of each Residence Hall. Conference check-in and check-out (including distribution of keys and dining cards) take place at the Service Desk. All Service Desks are staffed daily from 7:00 am - 1:00 am. At least one desk will provide 24-hour service for emergency calls and security needs. The Service Desk provides the following services:

  • Local bus schedules and campus map distribution

Telephone and Message Service

THERE ARE NO PHONE LINES IN INDIVIDUAL ROOMS. Telephones are available in the lobby areas of the Residence Halls and long distance calling can be made with your credit card or phone calling card. Residents cannot receive personal calls at the Service Desk. However, the Guest Services Representatives will take incoming messages and post them on the Information Board located in the lobby. The telephone number for San Miguel's Service Desk is 805-893-2275. A Courtesy Telephone is available for on-campus and local calls at each Service Desk.

Keys

Please carry your keys with you at all times and lock your room to protect valuables. One key will unlock the exterior door to the Residence Hall and one will unlock your room. The Guest Services Representative will assist you if you are locked out of your room. There will be a $28.00 replacement charge for not returned or lost keys.

Housekeeping and Linen Service

If you need to report a Housekeeping or Maintenance issue in your room, please report it to the Front Desk Staff in your residence hall. The Housekeeping Staff will provide you with bed linens and daily room service with washcloth and towel change (since our conference has arranged for linen service). Also, to conserve on water, Conference Services does give you the option to reuse your towel and washcloth. If you wish to use this option, please just leave both on the rack and the housekeeping staff will know not to exchange them.

Laundry

Coin-operated laundry facilities are located in each Residence Hall and are available for your use; however, sometime during the summer, all halls will convert to card-operated facilities. Please see the Front Desk for the location of the card machine for San Miguel Hall. Although professional dry cleaning is not available on campus, the Service Desk can give you information regarding local dry cleaners.
