WHAT ARE YOUR BOOKING AND CANCELLATION POLICIES?

 
We will continue to monitor and assess our reservation and cancellation policies. Currently we will be operating under our standard cancellation policy which means reservations can be canceled up to 30 days prior to arrival, with a 10% cancellation fee applied.
 

WHAT HOTEL SERVICES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING OUR STAY?

 
We are working closely with the Nantucket Board of Health to ensure your comfort and safety. Though procedures may differ from what we are used to, we plan to remain fully operational.
 

COULD YOU PLEASE YOUR SAFETY AND CLEANING PROCEDURES?

 
In addition to following all CDC and public health guidelines and continuously communicating with the Nantucket Board of Health, we have developed our own COVID-19 Safety Program and procedures. This program includes procedures such as:
 
  • Requiring temperature checks for each team member before each shift using a non-contact thermometer.
  • Enforcing strict social distancing guidelines among our team members. Staff will be wearing masks when facing guests and when social distancing is not possible.
  • Safety glass partitions will be installed at the reception areas.
  • Every room will be thoroughly cleaned between guests using foggers and sanitizing solutions.
  • All rooms have been reviewed for items that cannot be sanitized - those items have been removed or replaced.
  • High-touch surfaces in public spaces will be disinfected every hour.
  • There will be tissue stations by every door so guests will not have to touch handles, as well as hand sanitation units in all high-traffic areas.
  • Public restrooms will be limited to one family at a time and will be cleaned and sanitized every half hour.
