That makes me feel a better about the hotel plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/business-trip-help-me-think-this-through#post-2917227 Tue, 14 Jul 2020 14:08:19 +0000 bhbee 2917227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes hotel. We just did an 18 hour road trip to see family and decided we had to stop midway to stay safely awake. The hotels felt pretty safe even though we were in areas where many patrons did not wear masks - the desk staff did, and that was the only time we had to see other people. We usually stay in extended stay suite places and they did not seem crowded, probably due to drop in business travel. We wore our masks outside our room and we brought Clorox wipes to wipe down all the hard surfaces immediately upon arrival. I’d also bring your own bottled water and snacks as it makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/business-trip-help-me-think-this-through#post-2917226 Tue, 14 Jul 2020 14:02:16 +0000 lindseykaye 2917226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did business travel (by air, 3-night hotel stay) in mid-June. Hotels seem to have really stepped up their game and have a lot of great protective and cleaning measures in place. I stayed at a Doubletree, and they had a lot of safety signage, floor markers, employees were masked, and they installed a partition at the front desk for check-in. </p> <p>If you go the hotel route, these are some things I did to try to make things safer:<br /> Took off my shoes at the doorway to my room when entering, changed clothes on entering after travel or the work day and bagged those clothes<br /> Declined room cleaning during my stay<br /> Waited to board elevators until I was the only passenger<br /> Picked up/had dinner delivered and ate in my room<br /> No communal coffee, etc. from the lobby, didn’t sit in lobby chairs, or use common spaces</p> <p>Let me know if you have any questions, there’s probably a few of us who have done hotel stays in these times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/business-trip-help-me-think-this-through#post-2917225 Tue, 14 Jul 2020 13:59:24 +0000 JJ2626 2917225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a hotel. It really doesn’t spread via surfaces unless someone coughs right on a surface and you touch it right away. I’d just avoid the hotel restaurant and get room service or delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/business-trip-help-me-think-this-through#post-2917222 Tue, 14 Jul 2020 13:08:07 +0000 MrsSRS 2917222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. Hotels aren't super, super risky. I'd drive up the first day then do one night in the hotel </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/business-trip-help-me-think-this-through#post-2917220 Tue, 14 Jul 2020 12:58:36 +0000 Corduroy 2917220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to be in a city 2 hours from my home two days in a row next week. I have to report by 4:30am at the latest both days. We're in CA and our rates are climbing. </p> <p>Last time I did this trip it was one day and I stayed in a hotel the night before since I had to report at 3am. That was March 15/16th and I was equally terrified of Covid exposure in the hotel and driving in the middle of the night to work all day and then driving home. </p> <p>I was going to drive the morning of when I thought it was going to be one day. Now that it's two days I'm thinking a hotel might be safer than all that tired time on the road. Thoughts? </p>
