Our green roots are showing

In place

• We purchase 50% of our electricity from renewable energy sources!
• You can participate in our green your stay package: Your contribution of $5 per night goes toward the purchase of “green tags,” allowing the hotel to purchase more renewable energy, neutralizing the carbon impact of your hotel stay. Contact the Front Desk for more information.
• Bed linen changed twice weekly in stay-over rooms.
• Replacement of towels upon guest request.
• In-hotel recycling program for operations and guests: We invite guests to separate bottles/cans/paper and bring to recycling areas in the lobby and on the 2nd floor.
• 99% fluorescent lighting in the hotel.
• Fully automated HVAC temperature control for all public spaces.
• Digital motion-sensing HVAC systems in each guest suite: HVAC units only work when the suite is occupied to further save on energy costs.
• Water-saving shower heads, toilets, and sink aerators throughout the hotel.
• Quadruple pane sound and energy efficient windows around three- quarters of the building. The remaining windows and balconies are double pane glass.
• Proximity to public transportation allowing guests to easily take the Metro and avoid driving.
• A bike rack in the garage for guest and employee use.
• Battery and fluorescent light recycling.
• No styrofoam.
