Super 8 Newport News / J. Clyde Morris
Newport News, VA
Virginia Green is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s campaign to promote environmentally-friendly practices in all aspects of Virginia’s tourism industry. Virginia Green has established "core activities" specific to each sector of tourism, and these practices are considered the required minimum for participation in the program. However, Virginia Green encourages its participants to reduce their environmental impacts in all aspects of their operations, and this profile provides a full list of all their “green” activities. These are the activities that guests / customers can expect to find when they visit this facility.
Super 8 Newport News / J. Clyde Morris
The 61 - rooms and suite Super 8 Newport News / J. Clyde Morris conveniently located off Exit 258 B of I-64 is the most comfortable and affordable economy class hotel in Newport News.
The Super 8 Newport News / J. Clyde Morris Boulevard is committed to pollution prevention and decided to join Virginia Green because as local owners, managers, and staff the Hotel recognizes how refuse deposited in landfills or in storm drain run-off negatively impacts the entire Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Its delicate ecosystem is constantly threatened by reckless and irresponsible behaviors. The Hotel hopes that through our small contribution together with other responsible hotels and businesses we can all make a big difference in our immediate environment.
The Hotel staff invites guests to participate in responsible recycling and energy saving activities during and after staying at the Hotel.
