Whether you are traveling out of necessity or leisure during this time, G6 Hospitality (Motel 6 and Studio 6) has started the Clean@6 initiative to ensure that guests feel confident when staying at any of the nearly 1,400 locations across the U.S. and Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initiative focuses on three touch points, enhanced cleaning & sanitization, physical and social distancing, and safe behavioral practices with the purpose of keeping its guests safe and relaxed when booking a stay with us. Check out more details below:
Enhanced Cleaning & Sanitization
- More frequent cleaning and heavy disinfection of high-touch public surfaces, including lobby doors and handles, front desks, guest laundry, vending areas, credit card machines, corridor handrails and elevators
- Hand sanitizer stations in the lobby for guest use and in the team center for team member use
- Use of EPA-approved, antiviral disinfectants to sanitize the most commonly touched areas of guest rooms, including light switches, televisions and remotes, cooling/heating equipment, door handles, desks, chairs, commodes, showers and faucets
- As needed, engage the services of a third-party supplier to provide deep cleaning and sanitization services
Physical and Social Distancing
- Social distancing encouraged in all common areas and at the back of the house
- Plexi-glass hygiene guards installed at front desk terminals
- Where available, use of exterior front desk windows (in lieu of inside lobbies)
- Implemented single-use key cards for the remainder of the year
- Curtailed lobby coffee service and removed vending area microwaves to minimize use of shared equipment
- Monitoring/limiting lobby occupancy and interim closure of pools
- For guest safety and comfort, hotel staff will not enter any occupied room. Housekeeping services for stayover guests will include pre-scheduled trash removal, amenity replenishment, and fresh towels and linens
Safe Behavioral Practices
- Increased guest communications on COVID-19 best practices and property requirements
- Team members who do not feel well or who have high temperatures are asked to go home/remain at home
- All employees fully trained on Clean@6 standards, sanitization protocols, and equipment; procedures reinforced in daily team meetings
- Employees trained to perform frequent hand washing by using soap and sanitizing stations
- Required use of masks and disposable gloves by team members at all times while on-property
