At Fennville’s Hop & Vine Inn, a video is worth a thousand words. That is the philosophy of owners Daniel and Amber Genzink, who have adopted Matterport 3D tours to introduce potential clients to their facilities.
Hop & Vine Inn is an unusual property, built from what once was a family home, with a wing that housed eight townhouses. Offering planners and others the chance to view its unique features in a 360-degree tour is especially helpful since many visitors come from hours away, Amber Genzink says. “You can tap through as if you’re there walking around, and when you want to look a little farther, you can spin and twist and bend as if you were there in real life,” she adds. “You can walk through the common areas seamlessly from one space to another.”
She adds that units at the inn vary in size and amenities. Planners might use the 3D tours when assigning rooms, she says, which helps ensure attendees have spaces suited to their individual needs.
