Along with the updated safety measures throughout the facilities, the hotel properties have updated their safety protocols as well. With minimal person-to-person contact, using hospital-grade cleaning disinfectants, and upgrading technologies to increase convenience, the 40+ hotels are ready to welcome all families.
