Hotel Floyd was built by Jack Wall and Kamala Bauers who bought the land in 2002 with the idea of bringing "green' lodging it downtown Floyd. A large addition was built in 2014. A 4.5 kW photovoltaic system helped provide clean electricity to the original hotel. Last year's addition to Hotel Floyd brought an added 15 kW of solar. The systems were installed by Affordable Energy Concepts. Besides electricity, the hotel uses a solar thermal system to provide hot water to guest rooms and for laundry services. Visitors may tour both inside and outside Hotel Floyd.
