General Policies

Reservations

A deposit of one night's rate is required to guarantee a one-night reservation, and a deposit of half of the total is required for longer reservations. All balances are due in full at or prior to check-in.

Cancellation

*Note all refunds are less 3.75% service charge. This is the amount charged to us by our credit card processor.

Reservations must be cancelled by 12pm, local hotel time, 14 days prior to arrival to receive a full refund*. For multi-room reservations, or single room reservations of six days or longer, reservations must be cancelled 30 days prior for a full refund*. Whole House reservations and modifications must be cancelled 60 days prior for a full refund*. Any cancellations after the above periods will forfeit the entire deposit.

We strongly recommend trip insurance. Typically trip insurance will cover your stay against the unexpected.

Check-in / Check-out

Normal check-in is from 3 PM to 8 PM. If you expect to arrive after 8 PM please call or email us for late check-in instructions. Please note the following fees apply - check-in between 8-10 pm is $50; check-in after 10pm is $100. Please contact us for mobile key option which may be available. All guests must produce a valid 21+ ID upon check-in. Check-out is at 11:00 AM. Late check-outs must be approved in advance or additional charges may apply.

Groups, Weddings, & Parties

For groups reserving three or more rooms, a 30-day cancellation policy applies, and full payment in advance may be required. Guests planning events or weddings at an outside venue must make arrangements with us directly before booking any rooms. In certain circumstances there may be a requirement to take over the whole six room hotel. We do this to protect the expectations of both the group, and for other guests who would otherwise be on the property at that time. Fathoms is a small hotel, and we want your event to be as special as possible.

Due to Fathoms' small size, only registered guests are permitted on the property. Exceptions to this policy can be made only if requested in advance and approved in writing by Fathoms prior to arrival.

Note - Fathoms does not hold weddings on our property, but we offer wonderful small, intimate, and very special elopements.

Minimum Stays

A two-night minimum stay is required in our waterfront rooms (Helm, Starboard and Windward) on all weekends when a Saturday night is included. A two-night minimum stay may be required in all rooms during peak dates and holidays.

Room Occupancy

Fathoms has only one king bed per room, for one or two guests maximum. If you are traveling with additional adults or children, we have two rooms (the Delmara and the Helm) that can accommodate two more guests (maximum occupancy of four); and one room (the Windward) that can accommodate one more guest (maximum occupancy of three) on a sofa-bed for an additional $25 charge. Fathoms does not permit roll-aways or air mattresses in rooms. Fathoms provides daily housekeeping.
