A deposit equal to (1) one night’s room & tax is required to hold each reservation.  Such deposit shall serve to confirm the reservation for the date(s) indicated, and, upon, check-in, shall be applied to the first night of the reserved stay.  The deposit is refundable if cancellation notice is received at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to arrival.  Check in time is 3:00pm, and check out is 12:00pm.  Anyone arriving earlier than 3:00pm will be checked in as soon as room(s) become available. Guests checking out early will be assessed an early departure fee of $50.00.  Upon check in, guests will be asked to verify their departure date.  At that time, scheduled departure dates may be altered.
