| In an attempt to be as environmentally responsible as possible we continue to seek products and implement programs the benefit the environment and personal health. In addition to using all organic and/or natural cleaners we clean all our rooms with high temp. steam. We also provide organic coffee and reusable coffee mugs and drinking glasses in our guest rooms. Spring of 2010 we will be retrofitting our guest rooms with LED recessed lighting and providing organic cotton/bamboo blend towels and linens. |
