Settlers Hospitality is committed to providing a safe and memorable experience for our guests. In conjunction with industry and community leaders, we have implemented the “Secure at Settlers” program across all our locations. This program includes measures such as:

  • Providing continuous staff training on health safety and cleaning standards.
  • Providing hand sanitizer stations in convenient locations around our businesses.
  • Conducting a thorough cleaning of all common areas.
  • Enhancing our guest room cleaning and disinfecting process, eliminating shared items where possible, and finding creative ways to enhance the guest stay in this environment.
  • We follow all current CDC guidelines.
