Inn at Horn Point

Policies

General

• The INN is entirely non-smoking, including the grounds inside the fence.  Violating this policy will incur a minimum $200 deep cleaning fee.
• Code regulations do not permit open flames within the rooms.  Sorry, no candles or other burning devices are allowed in any part of the B&B.
• Must be 21 or over, with valid ID, to make a reservation.
• We gladly welcome well-behaved children over the age of 13. Younger children are welcomed if the entire INN is reserved.
• Pets are generally not allowed out of consideration of other guests.  From time to time, we may be able to offer a separate pet friendly room.  Please inquire.
• Guests may be responsible for any loss or damage of personal property, or to the INN, as a result of their actions.
• Parking is available on the street or in our driveway. Please avoid the red curbs and be mindful to not block our neighbors driveways.  Annapolis is a safe town, but like any city, we suggest that you secure your car when not in use.

Rates & Payment

• All published rates include a wholesome, full fare breakfast seven days a week (except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day).  A larger, multi-course breakfast is served on Saturdays and Sundays.
• There may be special rate consideration given to stays of three or more nights.
• During special events, rates may be slightly higher and longer stays may be required.
• Posted rates subject to change. Please confirm when making your reservation.
• All reservations require a credit card guarantee. We accept all credit cards, which are subject to a convenience fee.
• Personal check, business check and cash are preferred. Bank fees will apply for any check that is returned.
• Our rates do not include State (6%) and Local (7%) taxes (13% total).
• All reservations are non-cancelable, unless otherwise confirmed in writing.

Arrival, Departure & Cancellation

Arrival

• Check-in is between

  3:30-5:30pm.

  Late check-ins are easily arranged.  However, unplanned early check-ins easily become complicated. This is because we are either taking care of guests that are already in house or we are busily preparing your room for arrival.  Either way, an early arrival takes our focus off our #1 priority … our guests, so please plan accordingly.

• If you find yourself arriving to Annapolis before check in, you may park your car at the INN (free of charge) and walk about to see all that Annapolis has to offer.  Again, we ask that you do not ring the bell until after 3:30.  We want to have your room ready for you.   We have an automatic additional charge for early arrivals.
• An early arrival may be arranged with a minimum $75 charge, subject to availability.  Please inquire at least 24 hours before your arrival.

Departure

• Departure time is 11:00 AM every day except Sunday, which is 12:00 noon. Late departures may have an additional fee.
• Departure prior to your confirmed departure date will be treated as if you cancelled your remaining confirmed dates. We are a small, family owned Bed & Breakfast and early departures/cancellations affect us significantly. When we reserve a room for you, we agree to turn away all other requests for the room you select and guarantee to hold it for the night(s) you reserved.
• Extended late departures may be arranged with a minimum $75 charge, subject to availability.

Cancellations

• All reservations are non-cancelable, unless otherwise confirmed in writing.
• Each reservation has a specific cancellation date, which varies by time of year/day of the week.   By default the cancellation cut off is 21 days prior to arrival, but may be more or less.  PLEASE review your confirmation email for exact details, if there should be a change from the default policy. After the cancellation date, our guests are responsible for full payment of the reservation. If we can re-fill the cancellation, only a partial cancellation fee will be charged.
• We understand plans may change from time to time.  While in our hearts, we’d love to forgive cancellation charges, the reality is this is our livelihood.  We strongly recommend traveler’s insurance for our guests concerned about weather, travel delays/cancellations, conflicts with work, medical issues, etc.



Environmental

We believe that simple is better and are constantly working to make our carbon footprint smaller.  Long before these were buzz words and “green” became fashionable, even before there was an INN, we lived our lives knowing that our resources mattered. We focused on where our resource origins and where they were destined. It isn’t always convenient, and sometimes, things can take a little longer; but we want to provide our guests with a wholesome, comfortable, relaxed experience, while having as little impact on the environment as possible.

Energy:

We are 100% wind powered, using renewable energy to run the Inn. Most every light fixture contains either CFL or LED bulbs.

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle:

We recycle paper, plastics, glass, batteries, electronics … basically anything that can be recycled, we do! We compost fruit & veggie food scraps and have reduced our trash disposal by over 60%. We then use the soil created by the compost and enrich our organic herb, vegetable and perennial gardens each year. We have dual rain barrels in place and supplement our gardens with rain water. We also have a rain garden and french drain that supports a secondary rain garden.

Green Products:

We avoid chemicals in and around our home. We use Mrs. Meyers and Seventh Generation cleaning products throughout the INN. We especially keep chemicals out of the food that we feed our family and guests of the Inn — please see our Commitment to Local Food on the sidebar. We also supply guest rooms with pure plant aromas for skin and hair products from Aveda, a company that has vowed an environmental awareness over 25 years ago.

Local Initiatives:

Through our relationship with Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company, we support various rotating local campaigns that help our Bay.

Global Initiatives:

We are most proud to support the tremendous environmental efforts of our daughter, Josalyn, with her Josalyn’s Lemonade for the Rainforest held annually on July 4th.  For years she has foregon traditional holiday pool parties, parades, and cook outs to hold her fresh squeezed organic lemonade stand.  All proceeds go directly to the Rainforest Foundation US to aid the indigenous peoples of rainforest communities protect and manage their land rights.

We are also participating members of the Global Soap Project.  The mission of the Global Soap Project is to improve global health.  To do that, they receive partially-used and discarded soap from us, recycle it into new bars, and distribute the new soap through global health programs to people who lack access to it around the world.  With recycling efforts and distribution programs spanning the globe, together we’re making a real, sustainable impact on global health.
