If your hotel operates differently than normal due to the COVID-19 situation, update your Business Profile on Google to provide the most accurate information to your customers. You can change your hours of operation and adjust attributes to reflect your services, such as if your business offers special deals to COVID-19 responders. The updates will show on your Business Profile on Google Search and Maps.
Important: We may review your changes for quality before we publish them, so the changes may delay the updates on Google Search and Maps.

2. Mark your business as “Temporarily closed”
Marking a business as temporarily closed helps ensure that when customers search for a business by name, they'll find it and understand it's only closed temporarily. This may prevent cases where people visit a business in person and are disappointed to discover it's closed.
Businesses that are temporarily closed may rank after open businesses for broad queries. This ranking doesn’t happen for more specific queries, including queries for a specific business, or for queries when many matching businesses are temporarily closed.
