Together, we can make The Houstonian the best it can be

Together, we can make The Houstonian the best it can be.

It may sound simple, but when we are rushed, we may not always show others the same respect we normally would. This can happen while driving on campus or in the garage, when failing to clean up after ourselves, or when overlooking common courtesy.

Now is a good time to pause and reflect on our actions and how we can better recognize and treat others. Respect is an essential ethical value, though its meaning and impact are not always immediately clear. 

Simple things to take into consideration:

• Be watchful for pedestrians coming from all directions! With The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa such a large and complex property, people will be walking on the walking paths, in the roadways to cross from one building to another, or even in the street. Always give them the right-of-way.
• At the same time, be aware of other vehicles. It is too easy to get into an accident; less easy to get your car repaired. Make sure you show respect by allowing others to cross or go ahead of you. It only takes a couple of extra minutes.
• Watch your speed and your driving in the garage. You may not notice a young child darting out from behind a car, or someone needing assistance. Always be aware of your surroundings and yourself in the garage.
• Be sure to clean up after yourself when you are finished. While The Houstonian Club has wonderful staff to take care of your towels and other needs, it is common courtesy to put your towel away in the proper receptacle when you are finished and throw your trash in the trash receptacles. Remember, you would not want to arrive at the gym or locker room seeing trash or towels strewn around. Leave it for others as you would like to find it. 
• On that note, treat others as you would want to be treated. If someone behind you at Refuel or The Shop has only one item while you have several, consider letting them go ahead of you.
• Likewise, be respectful of others by turning the volume off on your cell phone while in classes, at the spa or anywhere in The Club. Never FaceTime or speak loudly on the phone while in the Club and especially while in the locker rooms. 

We value our members and guests and want everyone to have the best possible experience.
