Going green away from home.

Green lodging in Maine. Our Eco-Friendly practices has earn us a  ‘Green Leaders’ recognition form TripAdvisor.

The hotel and food service industries are ranked as  the largest energy consumers in the US and as a result are  burdened by correspondingly high energy costs.  These high operating costs result in increased greenhouse gas emissions and higher lodging prices.  However, these costs can be controlled more efficiently than any other operating costs.

A recent survey conducted by STUDYOLOGIC for Starwood Hotels & Resorts revealed that 70% of guests neglect  their “green routine” when they are not at home. The data confirmed that although 70% of guests save water at home, only 18% of them do so in a hotel. The survey results also showed that as many as 63% of people simply say that they rather leave the light on when leaving the room, and 70% of guest open a new mini-bottle of shampoo and conditioner for every shower.

At the Center Lovell Inn in Maine we believe in the virtues of  green lodging and good Environmental Stewardship practices. We have taken the initiative to show that our sustainability  values are consistent with our guests’ values and encourage everyone to join us in our conservation efforts.

We’ve implemented sustainable practices such as green lodging and purchasing locally produced goods  because we love mother earth as much as you do.
