At Hotel Casa San Francisco, we are always working on improving our sociocultural, environmental, and economic standards.
We keep our personnel up-to-date and trained so as to offer guests the best service possible, and so that our employees can learn and improve their futures with the opportunities we offer them.
We raise social and environmental awareness in our personnel and guests by promoting local cultural events and water and energy conservation. We produce organic fertilizer for our common areas, reuse wastes, and the donate of plastics, cans, and glass to low income people in our neighborhood. We also use 100% natural cleaning liquids that do not pollute the environment.
