Reservations
 The
Inn at Bath is open year-'round. We normally require
a two-night minimum stay on weekends, although single-night
availability on Friday or Saturday nights often occurs. So
be sure to check with us if you can only stay one night.
Well-behaved children five years and older and canine
pets are welcome, although they must be discussed with us
before you make your reservation. (Please see our "House Rules
for Visiting Pets" below). Double and single occupancy rates
are normally the same and our rates do not include a third
person in the East or the Garden, for whom there is an additional
nightly charge of $25.00. Please note that the remainder
of our guest rooms are not conducive to adding an additional
person.
A complimentary full, hot breakfast is served to our
guests each morning between 8:00 and 9:30 AM in our dining
room. We also provide unlimited firewood in the guest rooms
with woodburning fireplaces. With ample advance notice, we
provide early breakfast seatings to corporate and per diem
travelers. A 7% Maine State lodging tax is added to all
guest lodging statements. Payment can be made with Visa, MasterCard,
Discover or American Express credit cards, as well as by cash,
travelers checks or personal/corporate check.
The Inn at Bath is open 24 hours a day and we have no formal
check-in-time. While you are welcome to arrive anytime, your
guest accommodation may not be ready for occupancy until 1:00
PM, although it often is available as early as 11:00 AM. If
you arrive early, you are welcome to relax in our living room, on
the porch, terrace or in the garden with the morning
paper and a cup of coffee or tea. If you will be arriving
after 10:00 PM or in the early, early morning hours, please
let us know so we can worry about you.
Check
In
When you arrive, please use the off-street parking area and
enter the building through the side door directly above this
area. If Elizabeth or a staff member is not available, there
will be a "Welcome Package" for you on the kitchen counter
with explicit directions to your guest accommodation. The
Welcome Package will also have a "Breakfast Sheet" attached
which you need to fill out and leave in the kitchen before
you go to a restaurant for dinner. Should you have any questions
or need assistance, please use the telephone in your guest
room (call 443-4294 or 751-9767) or use the call boxes located
on the side and front porches.
Check
Out
W e ask our departing guests to make their guest rooms available
by 11:00 AM so our chamber staff can prepare them for the
incoming guests. Often guests will check out but then take
one last walk through town, returning later for their car.
Advance
Deposit
Generally we do not require advanced deposits, but rather
hold your credit card information as security for our guaranty
of your reserved guest room (s). Large bookings of many
rooms for one or more days will involve a deposit at the time
of the reservation.
Special Deposit
We should add that with full-inn bookings and school or college
graduations, we require a 50% advance deposit payable at the
time of original booking and the remainder payable upon arrival.
Cancellation
If you need to cancel or reduce the duration of your reservation,
you must do so at least 15 days prior to your originally
scheduled arrival date in order for us to refund your deposit
check. If you cancel or reduce the duration of your reservation
during the 14 days preceeding your originally scheduled arrival
date or reduce the duration of your stay after you
arrive, you will be financially responsible for the entire
amount of your originally scheduled lodging, except for those
nights we are able to rebook.
House Rules for Visiting Pets
We only welcome canine pets at The Inn at Bath and we charge a nightly fee of $15.00 per pet. We hold all pet owners financially responsible for any and all pet stains/damage to The Inn premises/property, which unfortunately can amount to a substanial sum of money because of our investment in the decor of the individual guest rooms. To minimize the chances of such damage, the following house rules must be strictly adhered to by pet owners:
1.) All dogs must be completely housebroken - we cannot accomodate
incontinent animals.
2.) Dogs cannot be left alone in guest rooms at any time.
3.) Dogs are not permitted on any furniture, including beds,
sofas and daybeds.
4.) As a courtesy to the other guests, we cannot tolerate barking or howling dogs in The Inn or in guests cars parked in The Inn's off-street parking area.
5.) During wet or muddy weather, please towel off each time
your pooch is brought into The Inn or through your guest room's
private outdoor entrance. If you didn't bring your own dog
towels, just ask to borrow some from us. Also we have
a hose in the garage to wash off muddy paws. Just ask
for directions to the garage. Please don't give your
pup a bath in your tub or shower.
6.) Dogs are expected to be fed in bathrooms or their crates.
Be conscious of spilled water please.
7.) Dogs must be walked/go to the bathroom on the city's streets
and not in the front, back or side gardens of The Inn. We
have plastic bags and you can place the used ones in the recepticle
underneath the staircase leading up to the kitchen entrance.
8.) You and your pups are permitted in any of the public
rooms of The Inn as long as other guests do not complain
- please be sensitive to guests who are not dog lovers.
Owners who are unable to abide by these House Rules will have
to board their pups in a local boarding kennel.
If we determine that your guest room or the public areas of The Inn, or any personal property belonging to The Inn (such as rugs) within such guest room or public areas, has sustained damage or loss because of your animal's behaviour, we reserve the right to charge your credit card for the full amount of the loss or the cost of repairing or cleaning the damage. |
