COVID Safety

VISITORS INN SAFE STAY ✔

The wellbeing and safety of our guests and staff has always been a priority at Visitors Inn.  With the world in crisis because of the global Covid 19 pandemic, health and safety has never been more important.  We pride ourselves with maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, and we have introduced even more layers of cleaning and disinfecting to keep everyone safe.  We are following all municipal and provincial public health warnings, directions, and recommendations related to Covid 19.

ADDITIONAL CONTROLS / SAFETY MEASURES:

To protect our staff and customers from COVID-19 risk, we have implemented the following steps:

  • We have adapted by adding extra layers of cleaning, disinfecting all surfaces and high-touch areas, and cleaning more often.
  • All rooms are cleaned and disinfected thoroughly, and then sealed. Once a room has been disinfected and inspected, we place a safety seal on the door so that no one can re-enter that room until check-in.
  • All linens, bedding, and towels are washed and sanitized in a high-temperature wash cycle.
  • We are rotating occupancy, so that arriving guests can check into rooms that have not been occupied for a few days.
