RESERVATIONS

Any guests that exhibit signs of illness or COVID-19 symptoms upon arrival may not be allowed to check in. If symptoms begin during their stay they will be asked to leave and return home if possible. If departure is not possible, guests must self-isolate for the remainder of their stay and the Department of Health must be contacted immediately. All persons are required to wear face-coverings in all public places, even where they are able to maintain 6 feet of distance from others. 

VERMONT

All guests are required to sign a Certificate of Compliance attesting they meet at least one of the following requirments:

A) Travel is for essential purposes as defined by the State of Vermont; OR

B) Have not left the state of Vermont for any reason except essential travel in the past 14 days; OR

C) Have traveled to Vermont from another state, and traveled directly from their home in their personal vehicle only after having first completed a 14-day self-quarantine (or a 7-day self-quarantine and followed by the time required to obtain a negative test result) in that state; OR

D) Have traveled to Vermont from another state, and will complete a self-quarantine (up to 14 days or a 7-day self-quarantine followed by the time required to obtain a negative test result) in Vermont at a lodging establishment or residence, and acknowledge that they must stay in the quarantine location for the duration of the quarantine, including the time required to obtain a negative test result; OR

E) It has been at least 14 days since the traveling party received the final COVID-19 vaccine dose, and therefore the party is exempt from the quarantine requirements.

To slow the spread of COVID-19 in Vermont, you may not gather with anyone you don't live with, unless you are fully vaccinated. If you have gathered with people you don't live with, you should quarantine. The Health Department strongly encourages getting tested as soon as 2 days after gathering and then again on day 7. If you are fully vaccinated (it has been 14 days since your final vaccine dose), you may gather with one other household at a time, even if the people in that household are not vaccinated.

MASSACHUSETTS

As of Monday, March 22, all visitors entering Massachusetts, including returning residents, are advised to quarantine for 10 days upon their arrival.  Travelers in the following categories are exempt from this quarantine advisory:

A) Travelers who have received a negative COVID-19 result on a test administered not more than 72 hours prior to their arrival in Massachusetts.  Travelers may also test out of the quarantine advisory after arrival in Massachusetts, as long as they quarantine until receiving a negative test result.

B) Anyone who is entering Massachusetts for fewer than 24 hours

C) Anyone who is returning to Massachusetts after being out of the State for fewer than 24 hours

D) Workers who enter Massachusetts to perform critical infrastructure functions (as specified by the Federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) during required commuting to or from work and while at work.

E) Travelers who are fully vaccinated (i.e. who have received two doses of either the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines OR who have received a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, 14 days or more ago) and who do not have symptoms.

Failure to comply may result in a $500 fine per day.

OUR COMMITMENT

As we are all adjusting to new travel norms, Larkin Hospitality is committed to ensuring the safety and well being of our guests and employees every step of the way.

In the last few months, Larkin Hospitality has taken a series of precautionary steps in response to this developing public health impact. These include increased cleaning and sanitizing procedures at all of our properties. While there is no proven playbook for how to handle the situation we are currently in, we have made a commitment that we will continue to be driven by data, science and public health guidelines as we evaluate and evolve these safety protocols and policies.

Public health experts say that it will take some time for life to return to a sense of normalcy, and even at that point we will have a new definition of what “normal” is. What we can do now is take what we know about the virus and give our employees and guests the tools they need to be safe and responsible, along with create environments designed to curb its spread.

As we prepare for the future, our priority is adjusting in a manner that puts health and safety at the center of our operations. We believe it is our role and responsibility during this time to prioritize two things: the health and well-being of our employees and guests, while also playing a constructive role in supporting local health officials and government leaders as they work to contain the virus.
