GENERAL DETAIL CLEANING
Dream Inn uses cleaning products and protocols which meet EPA guidelines and are approved for use and effective against viruses, bacteria and other airboxrne and bloodborne pathogens. We are continually working with our vendors, distribution partners and suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of these cleaning supplies and the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Public Spaces and Communal Areas
The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing has been increased in all public spaces with an emphasis on frequent contact surfaces including, but not limited to, front desk check-in counters, bell desks, elevators and elevator buttons, door handles, public bathrooms, room keys and locks, ATMs, stair handrails, dining surfaces and seating areas.
Guest Rooms
Industry leading cleaning and sanitizing protocols are used to clean guest rooms, with particular attention paid to high-touch items including television remote controls, toilet seats and handles, door and furniture handles, water faucet handles, nightstands, telephones, in-room control panels, light switches, temperature control panels, alarm clocks, luggage racks and flooring.
Laundry
All bed linen and laundry is washed at a high temperature and in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Room Recovery Protocol
In the event of presumptive case of COVID-19 in a guest’s room, it will be removed from service and quarantined. The guest room will not be returned to service until the case has been confirmed or cleared. In the event of a positive case, the room will only be returned to service after undergoing an enhanced sanitization protocol by a licensed third-party expert.
Air Filter and HVAC Cleaning
The frequency of air filter replacement and HVAC system cleaning has been increased and fresh air exchange will be maximized.

We have installed Bipolar Ionization Technology in our Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Air Filtration systems. Bipolar Ionization is the process of neutralizing and deactivating harmful airborne pathogens such as bacteria, virus cells, odorous gases & aerosols, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The new filtration system has been installed as an additional layer of protection for hotel guests and staff in these high trafficked areas. It is an extra layer of safety on top of wearing our masks, this does not prevent the spread of virus’s or other bacteria but has been installed to further reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and other air borne pathogens by trapping and filtering them out.

STAFF SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Dream Inn associates are vital for an effective sanitation and health program. We value our associate’s safety and expect our guests, clients, and partners to do the same. Our team is dedicated to guest safety as well as their own, and will proved the upmost attentiveness to the following standards.
Back of the House - The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing will also increase in high traffic back of house areas with an emphasis on the associate dining rooms, associate entrances, associate restrooms, loading docks, offices, kitchens, Human Resources offices and training areas.
Shared Equipment - Shared tools and equipment will be sanitized before, during and after each shift or anytime the equipment is transferred to a new associate. This includes phones, radios, computers and other communication devices, payment terminals, kitchen equipment, copiers & printers, engineering tools, safety buttons, folios, cleaning equipment, keys, time clocks and all other direct contact items used throughout the hotel. Shared food and beverage equipment in back of the house office pantries will be sanitized at regular intervals.
Hand Washing & Hygiene - Correct hygiene and frequent handwashing with soap is vital to help combat the spread of virus. All Dream Inn associates have been instructed to wash their hands, or use sanitizer when a sink is not available, every 60 minutes (for 20-seconds) and after any of the following activities: using the restroom, sneezing, touching the face, blowing the nose, cleaning, sweeping, mopping, smoking, eating, drinking, going on break and before or after starting a shift.
COVID-19 Training - All Associates received training on COVID-19 safety and sanitation protocols with more comprehensive training for our teams with frequent guest contact including Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, and Engineering.
Daily Pre-Shift & Timekeeping - Department meetings and/or pre-shifts are conducted virtually or in areas that allow for appropriate physical distancing between Associates. Larger departments stagger associate arrival times to minimize traffic volume in back of house corridors and service elevators. Hand sanitizer is available at each timeclock location and associates are required to sanitize their hands after clocking in. Our management team ensures constant communication and proper PPE and sanitation procedures are followed and updated per the latest expert guidance
