Towel and Linen Policy
Sustainability Focused
Towels and linens are changed every 3 days to conserve water and energy. Hanging and reusing towels reduces detergent and water consumption. Simply set aside the towels you want replaced. Early changes are available upon request, but choosing the standard routine lowers the environmental impact. Our guests’ support is the key to a sustainable stay.
