Best Mats for All Areas of Your Hotel

Are you looking for ways to improve the comfort, safety, and happiness of the guests in your hotel? It’s important to consider whether you have the right floor mats in the right places.

With a variety of mats, providers, and placements to choose from, analyzing your hotel’s floor mat needs might seem like more effort than it’s worth. 

Thankfully, choosing the right mats for the right areas of your hotel business is just as easy as it is important. Here are some floor mat ideas you can implement today:

Comfortable First Impressions 

From the moment your guests set eyes on your hotel, they have begun their stay. A well-decorated lobby or a finely-manicured landscaping job will do much to impress them, but that only lasts so long. They’re tired, hungry, and sore from their travels. As notable as the decor or marble tiling may be, they just want to relax. 

Before they can do that, they have to check in. This involves more waiting and standing. Do you want them simmering about the extra strain on their knees and back right before talking to your clerks? 

Imagine instead that they have a plush, secure floor mat leading to the clerk’s desk. As they’re waiting, their aches soften and their faces relax. It’s settling in. They’re finally here. 

Safety and Utility 

More than having a good time at your hotel or seeing to its needs, you want your guests and employees to be safe in any part of it. Having good footing everywhere at any time throughout your hotel is essential. Strategically placed mats ensure there’s always a safe place to stand.  

Entrance

A hotel’s entrance can be a dangerous place. It’s here that dirt, water, and snow are dragged in and dispersed in every direction. You need the right mats in place to keep these hazards from messing up your floor and posing risks to your guests. 

Scraper mats are the vanguard of your lobby’s floor. These sturdy rubber-traction mats not only keep dirt hidden and held until they’re replaced, but will ensure nobody slips in your entryway. 

Lobby

As the heart of your hotel, the lobby needs to be clean, presentable, and safe. Properly selected and placed mats accentuate its finer features. 

Logo mats give the lobby a company-representative flare while providing a comfortable standing area. They trap and hide dirt while looking good and promoting your business.

Behind the counter are some of your most important employees. They’re the face of the hotel and the first representatives guests interact with during their stay. You want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible. Anti-fatigue mats placed behind the counter will make the hours they spend on their feet easier to manage. The result: more energy, more engaging interactions with guests, and more positive experiences in your hotel. 

Kitchen

The last place that needs uncertainty is the kitchen. Yet, if there are no mats securing the standing room, problems will arise.

Anti-fatigue mats are great for kitchens. Cooks and other kitchen employees stand for long periods of time, and an anti-fatigue mat will help them stay comfortable for longer. This helps increase productivity and reduce the risk of joint pain.

It’s also essential to have floor mats that absorb liquids that spill onto the kitchen floor. Kitchens are fast paced and accidents happen. You don’t want anyone falling, especially when there is hot food around.
