Hello guests both past and future, locals and visitors,
Times have sure gotten strange, haven’t they? And, with things changing every minute, it’s becoming difficult to keep up. These unprecedented times have created quite a bit of uncertainty within the travel and hospitality industry. As unfortunate for our business as this has been, we are encouraging anyone not traveling out of necessity to stay home. We ourselves have struggled a lot over the past few days about whether or not we should close our doors temporarily until the coast is clear once again. However, we have found that we actually have an opportunity to help. Doctors, nurses, and other medical staff are still traveling to and from work and some still need places to stay that are clean, furnished, and comfortable. Families of high risk individuals might need to create separation for the recommended quarantine period. And we are here for these individuals and cases. We are in the unique position to be able to offer 100% self check-ins and access to our rooms; we are offering these individuals traveling out of necessity a highly discounted rate for however long they need to stay with us.
Of course, we are taking every precaution and CDC guideline seriously, and we have made a lot of changes to both our procedures and policies in order to ensure the safety of both our guests and our staff.
Our lobby is now closed to the public
100% self check-ins prevent unnecessary face-to-face contact
Additional towels and necessities are provided at the start of each stay instead of the daily room refresh.
Ozone machine helps clean the room for 24 hours after each guest.
Room rotation helps prevent back to back guests in the same room and gives our housekeeping time to deep clean the room.
Housekeeping is required to wear disposable gloves and change into scrubs on property and wash them after room cleans.

Our guests are not here to vacation, they are here out of a specific need, and we are here to help fulfill that need. We are just trying to do our part for our community.
In an effort to further help our community, here is a list of recommended practices as set forth by the World Health Organization and the CDC:
WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
This will help kill any viruses that may be on your hands.
Also, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCE
Practicing proper social distance (at least 6 feet) when someone coughs or sneezes helps prevent breathing in any air or water droplets that may contain the virus.
By staying home except to get groceries, medical attention, or for a nice stroll you are also helping slow the spread of disease.
CLEAN AND DISINFECT YOUR HOME
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
To disinfect:
Most common EPA-registered household disinfectants will work. For a complete disinfection guide, click here.
BREATHE
Socially distancing and self-quarantine doesn’t mean to stop taking care of yourself. Find moments of joy each day. Go on walks. Practice mediation or yoga. Pick up a new hobby. Read a book. Listen to music. The list could go on and on.
Be sure to maintain a healthy diet and go for walks or runs. Exercise and sunlight help boost your immunity and leaves you feeling good.
