Travel looks a little differently these days and everyone is adjusting to the new normal. As you plan for your next hotel stay, here are a few things you might experience that could differ from what you’re used to.
6-Feet Indicators
Many public places like grocery stores and restaurants have been implementing markers to indicate 6-foot separation and the same goes for hotels. Look for signage or floor markers to help you maintain a healthy social distance from other hotel guests – especially in places like check-in, elevator banks, and lobbies.
Required Face Coverings
Face coverings will most likely be required in all common areas. Always consider packing a few in your suitcase and be sure to keep one with you at all times just to ensure you’re never without one in a time of need.
Limited Daily In-Room Housekeeping
As a form of social distancing, likely, housekeeping will no longer refresh your room daily but rather by request only. Be sure to check your hotel’s specific policies before arrival or ask the front desk team upon check-in.
Limited Dining Options
State guidelines for restaurants vary by state but as things slowly and safely begin to re-open, hotel restaurants will likely have limited reservations if they have been able to open. Expect to see more grab-and-go options, take-out/pick-up, and increased room service options but packing a few snack items in your bag might not be a bad idea.
Contactless Experiences
There’s no better time to download your hotel’s app than now. You may have options for mobile-check-in and some may even allow you to use your phone as your room key. It’s safe to assume there will be fewer staff members around the hotel and more self-service options.
Hotels have your health and safety in mind and are taking all necessary precautions to help you feel confident and comfortable in your stay. View some hotels specific policies at www.onpeak.com/COVID-19, and be sure to check your hotel’s policies before you travel.
