As Covid-19 moves from a pandemic to an endemic, we continue to take steps to mitigate the risk to ourselves and our guests. Our usual standard of impeccable cleanliness has been enhanced by practices adapted to include the latest guidelines of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), New York Dept of Health (DOH) and the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s “STAY SAFE” program.
With that in mind, we want to share a few specifics of our plan here.
Checkin
- Payments will be processed 72 hours prior to arrival, to allow for contactless payment at checkin
- Masks are no longer required
- Hand sanitizer station at the entry
- Luggage assistance by request
- Sanitized keys on metal keyrings
Cleaning
- Increased frequency of disinfecting high touch areas in the Inn’s public spaces in addition to our already high cleanliness standards.
- Innkeepers exceed hand washing and other health/safety standards when cleaning and when preparing breakfasts.
- 24 hours allotted between guest stays to allow for deep disinfecting of rooms
- All cleaning/disinfecting supplies are verified on the EPA “N list” for use against Covid-19
Breakfast
- Our signature, individual plated breakfasts will remain, however, some tables have been removed from the dining room to accommodate social distancing. Guests are always welcome to enjoy breakfast on the porch.
- Seating for breakfast is still between 8:30am-9:00am, but we can stagger serving times as appropriate for social distancing.
