Our Green Standards

52% of the meeting planners are planning "green meetings". Hotels, suppliers and vendors are finally on board with this initiative. Being "green" can actually save money when it was once considered to be a costly intiative. For example, I am finding that a lot of meeting planners are eliminating water bottles thus reducing expenses by $4.50 per bottle! Here are some of our Hotel Green standards:

• Newspaper recycling bin.
• Cardboard bailer. All boxes and cardboard are recycled.
• Glass bottle bin. All glass bottles including liquor, beer and wine are recycled.
• Co-mingled bin for all recyclables
• Trash compactor is for “wet” waste and we have “red” containers designated
• Green Wednesday and Saturday. We eliminate these days for hotel deliveries.
• Used copier toners and ink cartridges are recycled through an approved vendor
• Practicing electronic B.E.O. distribution.
• Encourage both sides printing on our copier paper for internal distribution and our copier paper is made from 10% recycled paper
• Ride Share/Carpooling in place with designated front of the garage parking
• Changed lighting to compact fluorescent throughout hotel to save energy
• Signage in guest rooms to request clean sheets and towels.
• Carpet shampoo and odor neutralizer are green standard

General Manager's Outlook

As we are now into the second month of the New Year, we know 2009 will be one of the most challenging economies our nation has faced.
However I am happy to report that our hotel is positioned better than most. In fact our “pre-sold” group position for the next two years is at an all time high. In addition I am happy to share with you some of our exciting projects that are currently in progress:

-Bathroom renovations with enhanced lighting, new mirrors, wall vinyl and amenity upgrades.
-New beds in all guestrooms
-Guestroom renovations continue with the installation of 42” LCD TV’s.
-New poolside furniture
-Fitness Center renovations include state-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment.
-Parking garage lighting and signage enhancements

While it is important to improve our facility, offering great service is more important than ever. Our biggest opportunity is in consistently out servicing the competition. I have challenged our management team to make a commitment to be truly GREAT in communicating, coaching and inspiring 365 days per year and to always insist on the highest standards. We cannot take a day off with this promise. I am confident that when this culture is truly engrained then we will move to the top of the class.
