CLEANING POLICY
Our utmost priority is the health and well-being of our guests and staff. We offer daily housekeeping services, if you wish. All employees are aware of and are following the AHLA cleaning standards before and after every guest’s stay, which include sterilizing each room with CDC-approved chemicals methods.
CANCELLATION POLICY
We are a small boutique hotel with only 16 rooms, and not can absorb the financial impact that last-minute cancellations create. Should you need to cancel your reservation, a refund can be made if we receive notice more than 14 days before the arrival date. After that, a refund will be made based on our ability to rebook your accommodations. All cancellations are subject to a $50.00 non-negotiable cancellation fee applied to all 1 to 3-night stays and a $100.00 non-negotiable cancellation fee for all stays 4 nights and longer. If you wish to avoid the cancellation fees, we can rebook the stay or issue a voucher to be used toward a future stay, as long as you notify us more than 14 days before arrival.
We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance in case of last-minute cancellations due to, for example, illness, force majeure such as extreme weather conditions, or acts of terrorism. Always check the policy fine print for coverage exclusions.
DEPOSITS POLICY
We collect a 50% deposit to hold all reservations, or the full amount for a 1 night stay. Deposits are applied to your stay and the remaining balance is collected at the end of the stay. Deposits will be refunded only if the cancellation is requested more than 14 days before arrival.
SMOKING POLICY
The Whalewalk Inn is a non-smoking facility and if it comes to our attention that someone has smoked, cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, or a vape pen in their room a service charge of $200.00 will be added to the bill.
CHILDREN AT THE INN
We accept children 10 and over and encourage families to enjoy the Guest House West suite as this is our designated family-friendly suite. Infants 24 months and under can be accommodated, we strongly recommend the Guest House East suite or the Salt Box cottage for these families. Please contact us for more information about which rooms can accommodate an additional person if need be. No lifeguard is on duty at the pool. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
PETS at the INN
Sorry, no pets are permitted in any room, to ensure that all humans can enjoy every room
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Fireplaces are shut off for the summer (typically June 15-Sept. 15) due to it being a source of heat in the room. Keeping the pilot light would counteract the Air Conditioning that is turned on in those buildings, and make it very wasteful from an energy standpoint.
Two-night minimum stay during the season and weekends off-season.
Three-night minimum stay on holiday weekends. One-night stays are occasionally available when there is a gap in the schedule.
