Flooding safety risk early departure refund denial

Unfortunately we were booked for 3 days during the 2025, 4 July weekend flooding event. Being concerned about our safety we contacted the airline for an immediate flight change. It took time to get the flight change confirmed and our subsequent contacting the Carpenter for a day early departure was not accommodated. Very disappointing considering the flooding risk and our need to depart immediately

Parking is limited, even with paying for a spot. We had to clear with staff to park in the handicapped spot because there is not enough spaces. We attempted to use the safe available in the room and the front desk had no idea how to work it.
