At Sage Lodge, part of Columbia Hospitality, the wellbeing of team members and customers is of paramount importance. The cleanliness of their properties has been at the center of their operations for more than 25 years. That's why they've partnered with Ecolab, a global leader in infection prevention, to take their already stringent safety and sanitation protocols to the next level.
"Columbia Clean" is an elevated set of health, hygiene, safety, and sanitation standards developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to create a cleaner, safer environment for guests.
In developing an elevated process that keeps health and safety at the forefront, the Sage Lodge customer will enjoy an exceptional experience and calm confidence within a clean environment.
Sage Lodge team members consistently practice protocols designed to improve hygiene and sanitation as well as prevent illnesses. Considering the recent COVID-19 pandemic, they have increased these efforts significantly, including:
