Quiet Time

To assure our guests to enjoy a peaceful environment, we have a “zero noise policy” effective at 10:00 p.m. If you or your guests cause an unreasonable disturbance to others before 10:00 p.m., one warning will be given to you to reduce noise. If this warning is not followed or the disturbance occurs after 10:00 p.m., you will forfeit all advance deposits and must leave the hotel immediately. The Catamaran reserves the right to evict a guest without warning if the circumstances warrant. Additionally, guests are liable for all damage to or theft of the property of the Catamaran. Your participation is appreciated as it helps assure a safe and restful stay for everyone.

The maximum room occupancy is set at 6 persons (effective 24 hours). All guests must be registered to the room and no non-registered guests allowed in rooms at any time. No gatherings are permitted at the hotel, either in the room or outside of it (patio, grass area, etc.) Guests may be charged an additional amount per room night for each additional person over the standard room occupancy.
