Rental Agreement With COVID-19 Updates Heywood Hotel Rental AgreementPlease read carefully and indicate that you accept these terms. Heywood Hotel Cancellation and Change PolicyYou agree to be held to the cancellation and change policy detailed on the prior page.

Check In and Checkout
Check in is between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. If you are arriving later than 7:00, it’s no problem, but please let us know so that we can make arrangements. Checkout is 11:00 a.m. We have a small, awesome staff that needs time to prepare rooms for arriving guests. If you require more time, a late checkout can sometimes be arranged with prior notification for an additional hourly fee. Please submit your request the night before. COVID-related updates: Early check ins are by arrangement only. If you plan to arrive prior to 3:00pm, please inquire 24-48 hours before the day of your arrival. Late checkouts are more difficult to accommodate at this time due to our stringent cleaning procedures and staff scheduling. If you would like to request a late checkout, please inform our staff 24 hours in advance so that we can make any necessary staff scheduling changes. Our late check out fee is $40 for one hour, with 12:00 noon being the latest checkout we can offer. If you would like to extend your stay for another 24 hours, please inform our staff and we will advise of availability. We thank you for your understanding.
Children
We love kids, but our property is oriented toward responsible adults and not suitable for children. Children over the age of 10 may be considered but must be accompanied by a parent and must stay in the parent's room. For full property rentals, please inquire. Please also see "Minimum Age" below.
Credit Card Authorization and Payment
A valid credit card is required to make a reservation. We accept all major credit cards. Your credit card will be charged for the full reservation amount at the time the cancellation period expires (see Cancellation and Change Policy for cancellation periods). If using a debit card, please note that your bank will hold your funds at this time; for this reason, bank cards are typically discouraged for all hotel reservations. Your credit card and a valid ID must be presented at check in, at which time you will be charged. For alternate forms of payment or third-party payment, please inquire.
Damage to Property
Guests are responsible for any damage or loss they cause to the property. Guests may be charged for, or charged cleaning fees for, damaged, destroyed or excessively soiled towels, linens and other soft goods. For full property reservations and in other situations under management's discretion, a damage and security deposit will be required. Also see "No Smoking, No Candles, No Incense, Etc." below.
Desk Hours and After-Hours Service
The Heywood Hotel is a non-hosted facility. Management and staff are available between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to tend to your needs. A number will be provided for you to call should you need assistance at any hour, day or night.
Group Reservations
Due to our small, home-like environment, and to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, we have special policies regarding group reservations. Group reservations are limited to a maximum of 6 guests (typically 3 rooms), except in the case of full-property rentals. For full-property rentals, a maximum of 15 guests are allowed. Before booking online, please email us regarding your group's stay so that we can mutually determine if our hotel is a good fit for you. All group rentals of 3 or more rooms will be reviewed by management prior to official confirmation. Therefore, reservation requests submitted online for 3 or more rooms, or individual online reservation requests that constitute a group reservation of 3 or more rooms, are considered unconfirmed requests until personally confirmed by a manager via email.
Hotel Accessibility
Our small hotel has seven rooms. Two rooms are located on the ground floor and offer step-free access a short distance from our parking area. Five additional rooms are located off of our upstairs courtyard which requires access by a single flight of stairs. Our small property has no elevator. Our King Deluxe Room (Room 1) is ADA-accessible, featuring widened doors for entry, mid-height light switches and power outlets, lever-type door handles, grab bars in the bathroom, a lower hanging space in the closet, and visual and auditory notification features. Please note that this room features a bathtub with shower seat and handheld shower; it does not have a roll-in shower. When booking online, if Room 1 is not available, please email or call and we will attempt to make it available for your stay. Prior to and during your stay, please advise if special accommodation or accessible parking is needed and our team will work with you to ensure you have a wonderful visit.
Housekeeping and In-room Amenities
We offer daily housekeeping service. You will have the opportunity to select your housekeeping preferences during our pre-registration process ahead of your arrival. We will also arrange in-room amenities and minibar snack purchases ahead of your arrival.
Minimum Age
You must be 21 to rent our property or occupy a guestroom without a parent.
Minimum Night Stay
Our standard minimum night stay on most weekends is 2 nights, requiring booking of 2 consecutive nights in the same room (for example, Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday). Some holidays and special events may subject to longer minimums. Rooms are occasionally released for 1-night stays, based on availability, as reflected on our Reservations page. You are encouraged to submit a waitlist request if you only need a single night and the online booking engine requires a longer stay.
No Smoking, No Candles, No Incense, Etc.
The Heywood is strictly a nonsmoking facility. Smoking is allowed only in the designated smoking area at the rear of the property. Smoking is not allowed in the building, in guest rooms, in public outdoor areas or in private outdoor patios and courtyards. Evidence of smoking including the smell of smoke in the room or in the public and private outdoor areas will result in a minimum $250 charge plus the cost of any damaged property. (Yes friends, we mean any kind of smoke.) No burning of any sort of object including candles or incense is allowed, and no other strongly-scented items are allowed in rooms. All of the above are subject to cleaning and damage fees.
Occupancy
All guest rooms accommodate single or double occupancy, max. Room 7 sleeps 3 with an additional single-size sleeper sofa for an extra charge (ranging from $35/night to $50/night depending on date) for the additional guest. If you have 3 guests, please book room 7 and select "3 guests." All visitors and guests occupying a guest room must be registered with the front desk. A $100 per night plus tax usage fee will be charged for unauthorized guests beyond the allowed occupancy limit per room.
Parking
Off-street parking is available. One free off-street parking space (max) is typically available for each guest room. Additional free parking is available on nearby streets. Please respect the neighboring businesses and do not park in their lots; you may be towed. We are not responsible for damage to vehicles, or damage or loss of property left in parked vehicles, regardless of location.
Parties, Events and Gatherings
We are a small hotel. Please do not come here to party. Guests who disturb other guests will be asked to leave and will not be provided a refund. Thinking of inviting some friends over? Please check with us first! Due to the intimate nature of our property, private events that include guests not staying at the property require approval. A separate events agreement and additional fees may apply. No parties, group gatherings, company meetings, etc. may be held without prior approval, and may forfeit your reservation without refund.
Pets
Though you might see Zelda, the neighborhood hen, roaming the property, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate pets. No exceptions. We are sorry.
Phones
We do not provide telephones in the guest rooms because so many guests travel with their own phones. We provide a guest phone in the lobby with free long distance. We ask that you be courteous to other guests and kindly monitor your time and volume while using the phone.
Quiet Hours
Please show respect for other guests and keep noise to a minimum between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. We are a small hotel. Please do not come here to party. Guests who disturb other guests will be asked to leave and will not be provided a refund.
Room Subletting
All guests must be registered with the front desk. Only authorized guests may occupy guest rooms. Rooms may not be sublet, advertised for resale, or otherwise occupied by non-registered guest(s) without prior management approval. A usage fee will be charged for unauthorized guests.
