COVID-19 Protecting your Health
We Clean, We Care: Important Information Regarding COVID-19
Welcome back! At The Garland, the health and safety of our guests and staff will always come first. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, new practices and procedures have been implemented property-wide in accordance with the latest guidelines and recommendations from the CDC, WHO, and other local, state and national authorities. We continue to work with Ecolab, a longstanding sanitizing expert, to make sure that our cleaning protocols are comprehensive and in the interest of maintaining a safe environment. Our We Clean, We Care Program was designed specifically for The Garland and remains in effect with your safety in mind. These procedures have granted us The California Hotel & Lodging Association Clean + Safe certification with the completion of a 32-point checklist outlining protocols for guests, employees and cleaning processes. Additionally, we have met the criteria to receive the County of Los Angeles Public Health Covid-19 Safety Compliance Certificate and Sharecare VERIFIED status with Forbes Travel Guide for a commitment to health and safety standards. Please see below to review some of the new practices and modifications to anticipate during your stay. We look forward to hosting you!
