Your Safety Is Our Primary Concern
We want to assure those guests who need to travel that we continue to take the recommended CDC health precautions issued by the Center for Disease Control and Monterey County Health Authority to provide a safe place for our guests, our staff and our community. We take great pride in delivering the highest standards in cleanliness and hygiene. Our team is well-prepared and specifically trained in protocols to ensure a clean, safe and healthy environment for you as our guest. As of April 30, 2020 please know the Monterey County Health Department has enacted that members of the public will have to wear face coverings while inside of or waiting in line to enter Essential Businesses or facilities engaged in Minimum Basic Operations. This order also requires our staff to wear a face covering, while assisting you. Further, Essential Businesses must take reasonable measures, such as posting signs, to remind patrons about facial coverings, and may not serve guests who do not observe the order. We thank you in advance for following the guidelines set by the Health Officer of Monterey County.
