  • 3. THE GUEST CHECK - IN/CHECKOUT PROCESS Implement check-in and checkout via app, if available. If no app is available, all pre-check-in formalities should be done online before arriving at the property. When possible, email guest checkout forms to avoid contact via paper forms. Ask guests to advise of checkout so billing can be ready and sent in a timely fashion. Mark areas in front of the reception desk to ensure guests maintain physical distancing while waiting in lines. Install physical barriers such as transparent screens to separate guests and employees, if applicable. Ask visitors to use hand sanitizer. Keep it easily at the front desk.

For high-volume areas like lobbies with one elevator, consider adding tape markings as to where groups should stand to distance while waiting in line. Sanitize high-touch front services spaces and equipment, including keys, POS systems, bell desks, luggage storerooms, luggage belts, bell carts, etc., on a regular basis. Offices, desks, counters, workspaces, and related equipment (including iPads and radios) should be sanitized regularly and upon a new employee using the equipment. Valet parking should be restricted only to guests with placards or plates for disabled parking. Valet attendants should not open the doors of guests’ vehicles. RESTAURANTS, BARS, BREAKFAST, MEETING SPACES, AND RETAIL OUTLETS/GIFT SHOPS Reduce seating capacity and distance tables to meet guidelines. Utilize single-use menus or electronic menus on the hotel app or website. Replace self-serve buffet-style food service with alternative service style. Meeting and banquet setup arrangements should distance guests from each other and follow any mass gathering restrictions that may apply. Evaluate any future meetings booked, and ensure you have adequate space for the physical distancing of a group that size. Limit the number of giveaways during a meeting. Cover water pitchers to prevent airborne germs. Implement contactless room-service delivery to guests’ doors only. Utilize pick-up for restaurant orders. Require use of face coverings by food handlers. Follow any F&B guidelines from your brand and the health departments that may apply.

If you have outdoor seating in a patio or other space, rearrange seating to maintain physical distancing. Be sure courtesy shuttles have clearly defined cleaning procedures and physical distancing (limited capacity). Courtesy shuttles are to be cleaned after every arrival. Courtesy shuttles should be available by request only. Check to see if the courtesy shuttle driver can be separated from the riders with temporary plastic or a transparent sheet. CLEANING PRODUCTS AND PROTOCOLS PUBLIC SPACES AND COMMUNAL AREAS Shift furniture to encourage physical distancing.

Add easily accessible hand sanitizer stations for guests and employees; the WHO recommends no less than 60% alcohol content. GUEST ROOMS Adjust frequency of cleaning to guest needs (continue safety and wellness checks as necessary). Pay particular attention to high-touch items. Use standard cleaning products. Ensure rooms are sealed or mechanisms/notices are in place so clean rooms cannot be entered between guests. Leave rooms vacant for 24+ hours after cleaning, if possible. Clean HVAC air ilters to maximize clean air. LAUNDRY Use high-temperature wash following. Limit or suspend daily room service. Bag dirty linens in the room to eliminate unnecessary contact. ROOM RECOVERY PROTOCOL In the event of a presumptive case of COVID-19, the guestroom should be removed from service and quarantined. The guestroom should not be returned to service until the case has been confirmed or cleared.
