The Mayor and City Council (M&CC) will be grading hotels and similar businesses in a bid to ensure that they abide by city bylaws and regulations, Town Clerk Royston King has announced.
Speaking at a press conference at City Hall on Friday, King said the M&CC will be increasing its inspections of lodging houses, hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfast facilities and other similar places and ensuring that the owners “faithfully adhere” to the appropriate bylaws and regulations.
“All such businesses must be properly registered with the Mayor and City Council. Those that do not meet the standards, will not be registered,” King said. He noted that the council has been continuously receiving reports of hotel owners not having appropriate sanitary equipment and of their infrastructure being deplorable.
