Additional Information:
We are a small hotel of 10 rooms that open to the outside. We allow 5 to be used by guests at the same time. They are cleaned according to the requirements plus additional tasks are practiced. We allow at least one day between guests. We can provide bleach spray in the rooms. If we observe someone who is sick, coughing, sneezing, we will take action. But we don't monitor fevers of guests or mandate social distancing. If someone needs help to enforce proper behaviors we will intervene and insist on compliance. Check-in can be expedited with limited contact by prepaying for your stay.
