Information regarding COVID-19

· Over the years the service at the Casa del Gavilan is something that has set us apart from many other inns. We regret the current circumstances require us to alter our usual procedures and service. We look forward to returning to our usual high level of service as soon as permitted. Please don’t hesitate to ask our innkeeper about anything you may need to enhance your stay with us. We will do what we can, within the limitations as required by the State of New Mexico, and the safety of our staff.

· As required by the State of New Mexico, guests are required to wear masks indoors in common areas while other guests or staff are present. Masks are not required after seated for breakfast or while outside. If you don’t have a mask available we will be happy to provide one for the duration of your stay with us.

· To minimize staff contact with our guests, daily housekeeping will not be provided in the guest rooms during your stay unless specifically requested. If you would like fresh towels please let our innkeeper know. A plastic bag will be provided for you to place the towels you wish to exchange. Please ask your innkeeper for additional soap, shampoo, lotion, or toilet paper as needed.

· Please ask the innkeeper for anything you may need during breakfast. Condiments such as sugar, creamer, salsa, butter, jelly, and hot sauce will be provided in single-serving packets as requested.

· The kitchenette is available for microwave cooking by our guests for lunch and dinner. Refrigerators are available for guests’ use in the kitchenette as well as the sun porch. Please place your items in the paper bag provided, fold the top over, seal the bag, and write your name on the bag before placing your food in the refrigerator or freezer.

· Only one group of guests is permitted in the kitchenette at a time. If the kitchenette is occupied, please wait until the guests leave the kitchenette. If you are using the kitchenette, please be sensitive to others who may be waiting.

· As required in New Mexico, the ice maker may not be shared among guests. Should you need ice during your stay, please ask the innkeeper. A bucket of ice will be cheerfully provided.

· Hair dryers have been temporarily removed from the guest rooms, but are available for the duration of your stay should you desire one. Please ask your innkeeper if you would like a hair dryer while at the Casa.

· We use professional restaurant-grade cooking and dishwashing equipment to ensure proper food preparation and the highest quality cleaning and sanitization of cooking equipment, plates, and utensils.

Thank you for visiting the Casa del Gavilan Historic Inn. We know you will enjoy your stay with us. We look forward to the day we can return to our usual high standard of service to our guests.
