The safety of guests and staff is of highest priority for the reopening of Embassy Suites by Hilton The Woodlands at Hughes Landing. Guests can expect for staff to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), from masks to gloves; temperature checks to be conducted on all staff prior to all shifts; hand sanitizer dispensers to be placed at key entrances and contact areas; and for both guests and staff to maintain at least six feet between individuals and groups. In addition to the guidelines and cleaning procedures recommended by CDC and AHLA, the hotel will follow the new Hilton CleanStay Program, an industry-defining standard of cleanliness and disinfection set to launch in Hilton properties around the world in June 2020. A first of its kind for the hospitality industry, the program grew from collaboration between Hilton and RB, the maker of Lysol and Dettol, in consultation with Mayo Clinic, the top-ranked hospital system in the U.S., to develop elevated processes and team member training to help Hilton guests enjoy an even cleaner and safer stay from check-in to check-out.
Hilton CleanStay was developed to meet evolving consumer expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic and builds upon the already high standards of housekeeping and hygiene at Hilton properties worldwide. During this time, housekeeping at the hotel will be modified to limit entry into occupied guestrooms, with cleaning service provided for stays of five or more nights. Guests staying under five nights will receive daily towels and amenities such as soap, shampoo and coffee; those staying under four nights may receive cleaning service upon request. Housekeeping will also focus on cleaning high touch areas within guestrooms and public areas with the use of new technologies including electrostatic sprayers with disinfecting mist and ultraviolet light to sanitize surfaces and objects. Hotel guests can look for the Hilton CleanStay Room Seal for assurance their room has not been accessed since it was cleaned. Hilton’s complete health and hygiene policies can be found here.
