Check-In
Check−in is between 3 and 4 pm. If your travel plans have you arriving earlier than 3 pm or later than 4 pm, check−in is by appointment with arrangements made prior to your arrival. Guests arriving earlier than 3 pm may not be able to get into their rooms based on the cleaning schedule, but you are welcome to drop your bags off and pick up the keys. If arriving late, and if we have not been notified of a late arrival, rooms may be given away to walk−in clients as we may assume you are a “no show’.
Check-Out
Check−out is by 11 am. There is an additional fee for late departure.
Deposits
All reservations require a deposit of one−night’s stay. Deposits may be made by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) or personal check. Credit cards are charged when the reservation is made and checks are cashed upon receipt. Checks must be received 5 days after a reservation is made and 2 weeks prior to arrival. We do require a credit card number for our files when paying by check. There is a $40 fee for returned checks.
For stays 6−nights or longer, a 50% deposit is required.
Your balance is due upon check−in. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, traveler’s check, and cash. If you would like to pay by personal check, we require a credit card number for our records. Your card will not be charged unless a check is returned. We are unable to accept checks from a non-US bank.
Cancellations
Please note that we are a small inn (4 guest rooms) and rooms are specifically set aside for guests based on their reservations. Although we understand that plans change for various reasons, please realize that cancellations affect us greatly. Last minute cancellations and changes can make it very difficult for us to re−book a room.
Once you have made a reservation (whether over the phone or through our on−line system), there is a $35 cancellation fee per room regardless of when the cancellation is made. If canceled with a minimum 14 days notice prior to arrival, you have the choice of receiving a merchandise credit for the full value of your deposit or a refund, less the $35 cancellation fee. Merchandise credits are valid for 3 months towards a minimum 2−night stay and are transferrable. Reservations for 6−nights or more have a 30 cancellation policy with $125 cancellation fee.
If canceled with less than 14 days, we issue a refund for the amount at which we can re−book the room, minus the $35 cancellation fee. For example, if your rate is $160/night, but we re−book the room for $140, your refund is $105 ($160 deposit, minus $35 cancellation fee, minus $20 difference in room rate). We must be able to re−book the room for the entire length of your stay. If we cannot re−book the room, your deposit is forfeited. Guests that are a “no−show”, depart early, or cancel with less than 72 hours notice from day of arrival, are responsible for the full amount of their stay.
Reservations whereby a minimum stay is required that are reduced to fewer nights, will be charged the full amount of the minimum required stay. We reserve the right to charge a $35 change fee for guests reducing a stay that does not have a minimum stay requirement. Reservations may be extended at any time based on availability.
9 am EST on the day of your scheduled arrival is the time used to determine the 72 hour, 14 day, and 30 day cancellation period.
Cancellation (or changes to your reservation) are not considered received and processed unless you speak directly with one of the innkeepers. All refunds are issued by company check.
Policies
- Check−in is between 3 and 4 pm. Earlier or later check−in is by appointment and must be arranged prior to arrival. Guests arriving earlier than 3 pm will have access to their room as long as the room is ready.
- Check−out is by 11 am.
- Breakfast is served from 8:30 am to 9:30 am. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions or allergies prior to your arrival and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
- We reserve the option of placing guests with one−night stays in another room at check−in to allow us to accommodate guests with longer stays or guests needing a room for a 3rd person.
- Per RI State Law, we are a smoke free inn. Any guest smoking within the premises will be charged a $250 cleaning fee per incident and will be responsible for any damages and/or fines implemented by local and/or state authorities. This fee will be charged to your credit card after check−out.
- Per RI State Law, the burning of candles or incense within the rooms is prohibited.
- No pets allowed but we will gladly supply one of our own. There is a cat in the house that is an indoor only cat, fixed and fully declawed. He generally does not go in guest rooms but does have access to common areas such as the living room and hallways. If you consider yourself “extremely allergic”, we can recommend a more suitable bed and breakfast.
- Children over 12 are welcome anytime. Well−behaved children between the ages of 6 and 12 are welcome at the discretion of the innkeepers, by prior arrangement. We are unable to accept infants and children under the age of 5.
- There is a young child residing in the home with the innkeepers. The innkeeper’s quarters are located on the 3rd floor.
- Damages or missing items may become the responsiblility of the guest(s) upon check−out. Anything beyond “normal wear and tear” in which repairs, a cleaning service, or replacement are required will be charged to the credit card on file. We understand that accidents happen and ask that you notify us prior to your departure of any spills or damage so that we may address these situations immediately to avoid charges to you.
