IPC Guest Guidelines

We are excited to host you at this green and beautiful building International Retreat Center (IPC). By choosing to stay in this building, you agree to follow the following Guest Guidelines: 

General 

  • If you are concerned about COVID, we recommend you wear a mask in common areas when not eating/drinking. 
  • No pets – however, trained service animals are welcome with prior approval.
  • We ask everyone to remove their shoes and leave them in the entry /foyer, out of the way of the door. Bringing slippers is a good idea.
  • When you are done with meals, please rinse your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher without tape on it. 
  • There is no smoking, pork, alcohol, drugs allowed in the building or on the grounds of our property. 
  • Please make sure all hall and kitchen lights are turned off before going to bed.
  • Please do not adjust the thermostat temperature without coordinating with the building caretaker. 
  • Please take care to recycle items and reduce waste and reuse cups/glasses whenever possible. 
  • Quiet hours are from 11pm to 4 am. 

Dome Room 

  • Only water and tea are allowed in the dome room, in a closed container. Please do not bring coffee, food or snack items, which can ruin the rugs.

Kitchen/ Dining Room 

  • If you are here for personal retreat, you are responsible for cleaning after using the kitchen and dining area each time. 
  • During Ramadan, the host for that evening will ask for volunteers to help with cleanup. Please take a turn if you are able.
  • Please scrape and rinse the dishes before you place them in the dishwasher 
  • Please sweep or vacuum kitchen and dining room in the evening 
  • Please put all food waste into the trash, not down the drain.
  • Recycle bins by the fridge are for clean paper /cardboard, recyclable plastics and cans.
  • Use diluted Citra-Solve (spray bottle) to clean counters and cooktop.

Bedrooms 

  • Please do not open or crack the windows while the AC is running.  
  • Please do not sit or put heavy items on the window ledges. They are fragile and not designed for bearing a load.
  • Before checking out, please strip the bed and put each sheet set into a pillow case, and used towels/washcloths in the bathtub.
