Lindiwe Sangweni-Siddo, chief operating officer, explains: “City Lodge Hotel Group remains committed to adhering to all of the requirements of the latest adjusted Alert Level Four. Our hotel general managers and their teams are custodians of ensuring guest safety and therefore compliance to protocols is the order of the day. Most of our hotels remain open and our guests can be assured of a warm welcome as our teams look forward to delivering service excellence in a safe and hygienic environment.”
She continues, “We already have many important safety and convenience protocols in place at our hotels, front and back of house, designed to keep guests and staff safe. Online check-in ensures fewer touchpoints at reception and we have QR codes to access restaurant menus. Our housekeeping protocols ensure that rooms are kept spotlessly clean while avoiding staff and guests spending time in confined spaces together. And our food and beverage protocols while restaurants are closed worked well previously and will do so again.”
Lindiwe concludes, “We recognise that this is a challenging time for everyone as infections and death rates rise again during this third wave of Covid-19. However, we have mastered the art and science of delivering tip-top, loving and clean hospitality during a pandemic, and our guests can be reassured that they will continue to stay safe at our hotels. Let us all fight this third wave together, by keeping ourselves and each other as safe as possible, so that we may resume more normal operations soon.”
