BluesBerry Inn Guest Policies
ALL OF OUR ROOMS ARE NON-SMOKING. PLEASE ADVISE US WHEN MAKING YOUR RESERVATIONS IF YOU HAVE PETS, WHAT TYPES, AND HOW MANY (please see “PET POLICY” below).
“Guest” means any person occupying any room at the BluesBerry Inn.
“Manager” means the manager of the BluesBerry Inn.
1. ALCOHOL POLICY: WE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT TOLERATE PUBLIC DRINKING. The BluesBerry Inn is a NON-ALCOHOLIC establishment. However, guests may bring their own alcoholic beverages into their own rooms provided that no laws are violated AND guests in other rooms are not adversely affected. Public drunkenness and open alcoholic beverage containers, outside of rooms, will NOT be tolerated. Violators will be told to leave and there will be no refunds of rents paid.
2. NOISE: Guests are expected to be reasonably quiet during evening hours, so as to not disturb other guests, ESPECIALLY AFTER 9 PM and before 8AM. Violators who ignore requests to be quiet will be told to leave and there will be no refunds of rents paid.
3. PET WARNING: The BluesBerry Inn permits pets (dogs and cats, or service animals). Additionally, pet occupancy of rooms under the prior management (and ownership) is unknown. Therefore, the BluesBerry Inn CANNOT assure any guests that pets have NOT, in the past, been in any particular room. If you are allergic to pets or service animals, you occupy our rooms at your own risk.
4. PET POLICY (does not apply to service animals): Pets must be declared when booking and the BluesBerry Inn, at the manager’s sole discretion, may or may NOT permit any or all pets. The only pets permitted are dogs and domestic cats. Pets are NOT allowed on any furniture, including beds. Pets shall NOT be left in rooms unattended. Pets shall not be allowed to roam free outside unattended. Vicious or aggressive pets are not permitted on this property, and the manager shall have sole discretion in determining if any particular pet is permitted to remain. At manager’s direction, the guest shall immediately remove any vicious or aggressive pet. Guests shall remove any feces their pets deposit on the BluesBerry Inn’s grounds. Pets must be free of pests, and guest shall be liable for eradication of pests (as solely determined by the BluesBerry Inn’s manager).
5. Except for normal wear and tear, Guests will be liable for all damages to their room and/or damages the guest or their visitors cause to the BluesBerry Inn’s property. Guest agrees to pay extra cleaning charges if guest leaves their room excessively dirty or with tobacco or marijuana smoke odors. Guest will be liable to pay for cleaning or replacing carpet stained or damaged by guest, normal use excepted. All damages and cleaning charges shall be as solely determined by the BluesBerry Inn’s manager.
6. Guest will be responsible for all damages caused by their vehicles to Bluesberry Inn property, even if the BluesBerry Inn knew or should have known about the possibility of such damage.
7. Campfires will NOT be allowed UNLESS specifically permitted by management on a case-by-case basis and then only when permitted by the State Fire Marshall. Any guest permitted to have a campfire is allowed to burn only ordinary firewood and MUST NOT burn any wood that has metal objects (screws, nails, and the like) or dangerous chemicals in it (such as pressure treated wood). Guests must obtain their own firewood, and guests must clean up and restore the site of their campfire.
8. Partial nudity is not permitted outside of rooms. Any person without a shirt on will be considered as partially nude.
9. Vehicles will be driven and parked in a safe and responsible manner. No vehicles with more than 4 tires may be parked next to buildings Q1 or Q2. Large vehicles and construction equipment must be parked on Matlock Drive unless a specific exception is granted by Management. No vehicles shall be parked in such a manner as to obstruct the vehicles of other guests. Violators will be asked to leave and no refunds of rents paid will be made.
10. All guests must agree to these policies, as evidenced by signing BluesBerry Inn registration form(s).
11. VIOLATION of any of these policies may result in the violating guest being IMMEDIATELY evicted and required to leave the BluesBerry Inn. Such violations shall be as solely determined by the BluesBerry Inn’s manager. Past waiver of or failure to enforce any of the above policies, by the manager of the BluesBerry Inn, shall not prevent enforcement (by the BluesBerry Inn’s manager) of present or future violations.
12. Additional policies on page Rooms & Rates https://www.bluesberryinn.com/rooms-rates/ apply.
13. ALL guests will be required to certify that they are COVID-19 free and sign our COVID-19 RELEASE AGREEMENT (please see a copy on this page), in addition to reasonable social distancing requirements. The COVID-19 RELEASE AGREEMENT MUST BE SIGNED BY EACH PERSON 18 YEARS OR OLDER, IN THE ROOM, BEFORE REGISTRATION IS COMPETE. Self-certification will generally be permitted except that management may, in its sole digression, require a negative COVID-19 test within the 72 hours prior to the test request. Guests who have been fully vaccinated and present, on demand, a vaccination record to management are exempt from social distancing/mask requirements. Guests with a medically documented prior COVID-19 infection from which they have fully recovered and tested negative for COVID-19, on a molecular COVID-19 test, and present, on demand by management, a vaccination record are exempt from social distancing/mask requirements.
14. THE RIGHT TO OCCUPY ANY ROOM IS NOT AUTHORIZED UNTIL REGISTRATION IS COMPLETE AND IS ONLY VALID FOR THE DURATION OF THE REGISTRATION, AS GIVEN BY CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT DATES ON THE REGISTRATION FORM.
15. Electric power: Electric power in this region is provided by Golden Valley Electric Cooperative, and is very unreliable. Because of this, the Bluesberry inn has a backup power system. However, please be advised that (1) This backup power system is not always available; (2) When power outages occur, it may take several hours before the backup power system is up and running (at a minimum, we do not start it for short duration outages, meaning those expected to last less than about 3 hours); and (3) The backup power system is ONLY intended to provide key utility services like water, sewer and wi-fi/internet. If necessary, to prevent system overload, we may turn off guest room power during outages.
16. Internet (including WI-FI) ACCESS POLICIES ARE AS NOTED BELOW.
17. REFUND POLICY (amends other refund policies as stated elsewhere on this site). All refunds are subject to the sole approval of the BluesBerry Inn’s manager. Refunds made for payments originally made with credit or debit cards (and the similar) will be, at most, for 80% of the original payment for unused days (this is mostly due to fees the card/payment companies charge us and to recover our administrative costs). Any such refunds will be made in the same form as the original payment (except refunds for cash payments may be made by BluesBerry Inn company check); if by credit/debit card, the refund must be made to the original card the payment was made with. Note: Except at the BluesBerry Inn Management’s sole digression, there will be NO REFUNDS for early checkouts, and if an early checkout refund is granted the early checkout MUST be requested, to Management, at least one day prior. NO early checkout refunds will be issued for stays in rooms that require minimum stays where the early checkout is such that the minimum requirement will be violated.
18. Guests are NOT permitted to have refrigerators or cooking appliances of any kind in any room. Violators will be charged an extra $10.00/day for all days of their stay AND may be evicted. Coffee pots, refrigerators and/or microwaves that are provided by the BluesBerry Inn are exempt from this policy.
