CLEAN<br />
COMMITMENT<br />
Motel 6 Canada, in collaboration<br />
with G6 Hospitality, launched<br />
‘Clean@6’ in June — a comprehensive<br />
initiative designed to ensure guests<br />
feel confident when staying at any<br />
Motel 6 or Studio 6 locations across<br />
Canada and the U.S. The initiative<br />
focuses on enhanced cleaning and<br />
sanitization; physical and social<br />
distancing; and safe behavioural<br />
practices. “The health and safety of our hotel associates<br />
and guests are of the utmost importance to us,” says<br />
Irwin Prince, president & COO, Realstar Hospitality.<br />
“The Clean@6 program exemplifies our commitment<br />
to providing the travelling public with a clean and<br />
comfortable stay.” Motel 6 Canada will also join other<br />
global brands and follow the Safe Stay guidelines for<br />
hotel cleaning.<br />
