- How will daily maid service work? We are committed to providing our guests with the best possible customer service. We understand that some of our guests will prefer not to have staff enter their rooms during their stay. For now, we are offering guests TWO SERVICE OPTIONS. OPTION #1 is our "Full-Service" stayover clean. This is our traditional 30-45 minute daily touch up. OPTION #2 for those guests who prefer "No Service", we ask guests to place items for removal including the breakfast basket, dirty dishes, trash, and recycling outside the entry to their room. For those items they wish to have replaced (ie towels, toiletries) we ask guests to call the front desk between 9am-4:00pm to arrange to get those items replaced.
