Increased Focus on Cleanliness

We have implemented a more rigorous cleaning schedule and added hand sanitizer stations in key areas. We are circulating 100% fresh air through a two-stage filtration system every 15 minutes throughout the building. The filtration process includes an anti-microbial treatment for the air. High-grade disinfectants are in use, as well as multiple electrostatic sprayers to sanitize high touch point surfaces and common areas. And, we’ve installed additional touchless hand sanitizer stations in convenient locations.  

PROPERTY HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDELINES

For the well-being of our guests and team members, employees have been trained on cleaning and disinfecting techniques, including use of personal protective equipment (PPE), protocols for sanitizing all surfaces, and tracking cleaning schedules. Recommended social distancing guidelines are being adhered to throughout the property and the presence of hand sanitizer stations have been increased.
