Here at Sage Hospitality our concern is for the comfort of our guests and the way in which we treat our environment. Our Green Effort involves reducing our carbon footprint at every one of our hotel locations by asking our guests to leave our convenient door-hangers out to help us conserve energy.

By placing the hanger on your door, you will be declining guest room cleaning for the day. This will help reduce the hotels’ energy and water usage.
