STAY SAFE, START LIVING
Your health is our utmost priority. The Stella team is committed to protecting the wellbeing of our guests and team members by providing a comfortable and safe environment. Our team has been fully trained on the importance of upholding the highest level of sanitation standards and we’re taking every precaution to protect our guests, community, and staff. We have made several adjustments to our hotel operations to ensure your safety.
Our team has diligently implemented all safety precautions recommended by the CDC and in accordance with state and county guidelines. Even so, it is impossible to eliminate all risks of exposure to infectious disease. If you have specific questions or concerns that are not addressed in the materials provided, please direct them to Shane Pappas, General Manager, at [email protected] or 979.421.4001.
Due to our heightened safety measures, some facilities or services may not be available, but we’re committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible with our award-winning service. These are our enhancements to our current cleanliness standards:

Mask Up!
You are not required to wear a mask during your stay. The Stella Hotel will no longer require fully vaccinated employees to wear a mask indoors while on property. If you would prefer an associate to wear a mask during their interaction with you, they will. Any employee not vaccinated or in the vaccination process must continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
Check-In
- Physical distancing recommended while in line.
Keeping Your Distance
- We recommend that all guests strive to maintain at least six feet between themselves and others.
- All property outlets will comply with, or exceed, local or state mandated occupancy limits.
- Stairwells and alternatives to elevators are clearly marked and open for guest use.
PPE & Hand Sanitizer

Housekeeping
BEFORE YOUR STAY
- Rooms are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected upon departure.

ENHANCED CLEANLINESS STANDARDS
Our hotels use cleaning products and protocols which meet EPA guidelines and are approved for use and effective against viruses, bacteria, and other airborne pathogens. We are working with our vendors, distribution partners, and suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of cleaning supplies and necessary PPE.
Your peace of mind is important to us – if you have additional questions or concerns please reach out to Sheila Sandoval, Interim General Manager, at [email protected] or 979.421.4000.
