Following extensive consideration and the development of enhanced cleaning protocols to align with federal guidelines and industry recommendations, The Hotel at the University of Maryland, a hotel and conference center adjacent to the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, announced plans to reopen on June 1.
“As we re-open, we do so looking at lower business levels and new operational expectations from our team and our guests,” Linda Westgate, general manager of The Hotel at the University of Maryland said.
“We have a new company-wide program touching on every part of the guest experience to promote physical distancing, sanitize areas frequently and increase awareness around the public areas of the hotel.
The hotel enhanced their cleaning protocols to align with new federal guidelines and industry recommendations.
Hotel representatives said that they always had a high expectation of cleanliness, so, in addition to frequent cleaning and sanitizing of all public spaces, guests can expect to see: hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the hotel; guides to help guests maintain physical distance in common areas, with furniture arrangements as a reinforcement; and updated housekeeping procedures for in house and newly arrived guests.
