Smoking
Palmer House Inn is a clean air facility and is a no smoking zone both in the buildings and on the grounds.
Children
If you are traveling with children, please list the number of children, ages, and names on your reservation request under “Special Accommodations.” We have a limited number of accommodations that are appropriate for children.
Damage
By registering, guests agree to be held responsible for damage to the room (or damage to other areas of the Palmer House Inn caused by them) while registered at the Inn or while on Palmer House Inn property and without limiting other remedies, authorize Palmer House Inn to charge their credit cards an amount appropriate for the remediation of the damage.
Dog Policy
At Palmer House Inn we welcome well behaved, house trained, well socialized dogs in our designated dog-friendly rooms, up to one dog per room at a daily pet charge of $35. Please read our full pet policy.
Fireplaces, Whirlpool Tubs and Air Conditioning
Some of our premium rooms have fireplaces. These are operational November 1 through May 31. During the warm months they are deactivated. Jetted whirlpool tubs in our premium rooms in the Main House are activated from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM and are deactivated from 10:01 PM to 8:29 AM for the quiet and consideration of other guests in the inn. Air conditioning is provided in all rooms during warm months. Air conditioning is deactivated when night ambient day or temperatures are, or are projected to be below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, to prevent damage to our outdoor condensers. Please note, that ours is a multi-zone system, allowing each room separate temperature control. Please be patient when turning on the A/C, as this type of system takes longer to regulate the temperature in your room than would be the case with systems that do not allow individual control. Please do not set the thermostat in your room below 66 degrees. Doing so will not cool your room any faster and puts undue stress on the mechanics of the system.
Guests with Allergies
All guests are asked to let us know about food allergies or dietary restrictions they may have for their safety during breakfast time. If you find yourself asked more than once, it is a safety precaution and not intended to be harassment. If you have allergies to airborne irritants, please let us know. We have no down pillows or woolen blankets at the inn, and will take extra precautions to keep your room in the Main House free of pet dander. Disclosure is hereby made however, that the Americans with Disabilities Act requires us to accommodate a guest with a service dog in any room of the guest’s choice, as well as in any common area at the inn, and that in such an instance one or more service dogs may be present in areas of the inn outside of our normal dog-friendly rooms, including the rooms in our main house. Proceeding with a reservation represents acceptance of that risk.
