Shore Green Choice

The Shore Green Choice program at Shore Hotel encourages guests to forgo housekeeping service throughout their stay in exchange for a $15 daily dining credit redeemable at Shoreside Restaurant & Bar. For every night a guest chooses to skip room servicing, they will receive a same-day dining credit to enjoy during their stay. This initiative is designed to help conserve water and energy, reduce waste, and support our continued commitment to caring for our coast and lowering our environmental impact. Small Choice. Big Impact.
