US: Red Roof, which operates the HomeTowne Studios brand, is introducing day rates for remote workers in response to pandemic-enforced changes to the working environment.
The Work Under Our Roof program will be available at select properties from Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 6 pm with same-day check-in and check-out.
The company says: “With closures of non-essential businesses across the nation, including coffee shops, co-working spaces and libraries, many households are trying to find dedicated space at home to work as a result of tighter living quarters due to home schooling mandates and recommendations to practice social distancing.”
“An unprecedented number of workers are now required to work remotely and options are very limited during this time,” said Marina MacDonald, chief marketing officer at Red Roof. “With locations in major cities nationwide, we are opening our doors to help Americans find a solution that works best for them and allows them to continue their professional obligations close to home. The Work Under Our Roof Day Rate provides a private and dedicated space to help those who may not have at-home offices or spaces conducive to working from home.”
No more than two guests will be allowed to check in to any one room under the day rate. Rooms have free WiFi and a communication package that includes free local and long-distance calls, fax, flat-screen TVs and a workstation, as well as complimentary in-room coffee in most rooms. One domestic pet – cat or dog – is welcome for the day free of charge.
Guests can book through the Work Under Our Roof program from now until May 15 for any time until May 31</p
