Our Policies
Room Sizes
Please realize that our rooms are very comfortable and cozy, but are petite with limited furniture. Our rooms with a loft have a smaller second bed accessed by a ladder, much like a bunk bed and may not be suitable for all guests. Please visit our Accommodations page to see photos and accurate descriptions. Feel free to call us to make sure the accommodation will be right for your needs.
Cancellations
Guests must cancel their reservation at least 7 days before the date of arrival in order to receive a full refund.
For arrival dates between September 1 and October 31, guests must cancel their reservation at least 14 days before the date of arrival in order to receive a full refund.
If a reservation is cancelled after the cancellation period, we will make every effort to re-book your room and offer a refund, less any processing fees.
Payment
Upon booking a reservation, The Cabot Lodge will pre-authorize the total amount due to verify your credit card. We will charge the total amount due to that credit card 7 days (14 days in Sept/Oct) prior to your arrival date. If the credit card is declined, you must provide us with a valid credit card within 24 hours or the reservation will be cancelled.
Smoke-Free Hotel
The Cabot Lodge is a 100% smoke and flame-free property. Smoking of any kind (including vaping/e-cigarettes), is not permitted. Guests will be asked to leave without reimbursement and assessed a minimum $250 cleaning fee if it has been determined that they have been smoking, vaping or burning candles or incense in any part of the Hotel.
Alcohol
Guests must be 21 years of age or older to consume alcohol on the premises. Please drink responsibly and be considerate of those around you.
Pets
Regrettably, pets of any kind are NOT allowed in any part of the hotel. If a guest requires a service or support animal, they must get approval before booking a reservation.
Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am. Any quiet hour violations and/or disturbances will result in a $100 fine per incident. More than one incident and that guest will be asked to leave without reimbursement.
Guest Age Requirements
You must be 21 years of age, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian to stay at The Cabot Lodge.
Damages
While accidents do happen, guests will be financially responsible for damage due to gross negligence.
Hazardous Items
No items that are illegal, hazardous, or disruptive to staff or guests are allowed in the hotel. A guest found having such items anywhere within the hotel will be asked to leave without reimbursement.
Items Left Behind
We are pleased to mail personal items left behind after your departure. Please understand that we will bill your credit card on file for any shipping and handling charges.
Force Majeure
The Cabot Lodge shall not be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature or any causes beyond our control, including computer, internet, telecommunication or other equipment failure, loss of data, disruption of utilities such as water/sewer, electrical service, heating or air conditioning, or any circumstance or disaster that makes it impossible or illegal to provide or use the Hotel’s facilities.
Guest Room Ladders
The Cabot Lodge is not responsible for any injury or damage of any kind to person or property from the use of ladders or accessing and occupying the loft in our guest rooms. Guests are hereby notified of the inherent hazards and risks and must use caution when climbing the ladders and occupying the lofted spaces. Parents should not allow children to access the loft without supervision or leave them alone unattended.
Accessibility
The Cabot Lodge is committed to accommodating all guests to the best of our ability; however, due to the petite nature of our property, The Cabot Lodge may not be fully accessible to every individual. Our rooms are designed for guests who utilize a wheelchair, require extra space, have limited mobility, or have other limitations. While our Accessible Queen Quarters accommodation and common areas do meet Massachusetts state requirements for ADA accessibility, some guests may find that our space does not suit their individual needs.
