Housekeeping Protocols

Our housekeeping staff has increased the frequency of room and common area cleanings and sanitization, utilizing Ecolab products certified to be effective against a broad range of bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19.

 

We are conducting limited services for our stay-over guests by only entering rooms upon request. If you are staying multiple nights, additional amenities will be placed in your guest room. Trash service, linen exchange, and replacement of soap and shampoo will be done upon request.

 

Our new electrostatic disinfecting equipment allows our staff to disinfect what you see and don’t see. Before you arrive, we will have cleaned every surface, remote device, phone, bed and everything in between. Ultraviolet light technology will be used to clean keys and other devices.
