gives us little chance of rebooking a room. For this reason, we request a 14 day notice of cancellation, at
which time we will be happy to issue a refund, minus a $25 Service Charge for the cancelled reservation.
Cancellations made less than 14 days prior to the arrival date, will be issued a “Credit Certificate,” with the
following exceptions: We regret that we are unable to issue credit for cancellations on “Holiday” or “Special Event” weekends. No calls/no shows will be billed for the full stay. - Accepted by the following agencies:
