Pet Policy:

Deposit Policy:

  • All reservations require a deposit of one night’s rate plus taxes.  (Sales Tax = 6.625%, Logging Tax = 5%, Municipal Occupancy Tax = 3%) – The deposit will be charged at the time your reservation is accepted.  We will mail to the guest a confirmation letter along with a credit card receipt to sign and return within seven days.  If the arrival date is within two weeks, the deposit receipt will be held for signature at check-in rather than mailed.
  • Any remaining balance is due at check-in.  Guests using late arrival will have the remaining balance charged to their credit card on the day of arrival.
  • Payment methods accepted for Initial deposit:  Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex
  • Payment methods accepted for Balance at Check-in: Cash, Check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex

Cancellation Policy:

  • If a reservation is cancelled 15 or more days prior to the scheduled arrival date, a refund will be issued in the amount of the deposit minus a $50 cancellation fee. (If the reservation is changed, there is a $50 change fee.)
  • If a reservation is cancelled 14 days to 3 days prior to the scheduled arrival date, the deposit will be forfeited unless the room is rebooked in its entirety. The $50 cancellation fee will apply if the room is rebooked and a deposit refunded.
  • If a reservation is cancelled within 48 hours of the scheduled arrival date (2:00 p.m.), the booked stay will be charged in full.
  • Early departures are charged for the entire reserved stay.
  • One Night reservations require payment in full and are non-refundable.

We attempt to accommodate all of our guests’ needs and requests, but we are simply unable to allow exceptions to the cancellation policies – even for emergencies (no matter how legitimate) or inclement weather. We are a small business that depends on reservation revenue to maintain and run the Wilbraham.

9

Smoking Policy:

  • Smoking is not permitted in the buildings. Burning incense, candles, or other items is also prohibited.
    Violation of this policy will result in a $500 fee to cover cleaning and lost revenue. Guests violating this policy will be asked to leave the property immediately.
