Hotel Moving in Colorado Springs

Summer is peak season for hotels and lodges around Colorado Springs, and late-spring graduation weekends fill rooms across the city, so most refreshes land in fall or late winter. The general manager and revenue manager decide how many rooms can be out at once, and that sets the pace far more than the truck does.

The service elevator is the bottleneck. We ask engineering for elevator time, the loading dock schedule, and any quiet hours, and we keep the dock clear for the furniture supplier's deliveries. Many properties want the work done during the day, when guests are out, and not on weekends. Others prefer early starts. Tell us which, and share the property's insurance and vendor-sign-in rules; our Certificate of Insurance can name the owner and the management company as holders.

Corridors and guestrooms stay open to guests on other floors, so the protection plan covers the route as much as the furniture. Corridor carpet gets runners, elevator cabs get padded walls, and door frames on each room get guards. New casegoods are unboxed at the dock or a staging room so cardboard does not fill the floor.

Every new piece is checked against the room list as it goes in, and any damage from the supplier's freight is noted before we sign for it. Old furniture is wrapped even when it is heading for disposal, because it still has to pass guest areas. When a room is set, housekeeping and your inspector walk it; the room goes back into inventory only when they say so.
