sorry, we do not serve breakfast

DEFAULT BOOKING TERMS:

These booking terms ('Booking Terms') are between The Dancing Bear Inn (referred to as ‘We’/’Us’/’Our’) named under the ‘Reservation Confirmed with’ section of the Booking confirmation ('Booking Confirmation') and the person or legal entity making the Booking (‘You/Your’).


Bookings

Bookings are made and a contract between You and Us comes into effect when We accept a reservation from You. We will accept a reservation when We have confirmed Your reservation and received either:
(i) payment of a deposit equivalent to the value of the first night stay;
(ii) any other amount We have specified at the time of Your booking; or
(iii) We have agreed to collect payment from You either on arrival or departure.
Where a deposit, or any other amount that is less than the total value of the stay is paid, the balance will be paid by You directly to Us, on either check-in or check-out or at an earlier date if so requested via a direct communication between You and Us.
You must be able to enter into a legally binding contract and be over 18 years of age to make a Booking. Bookings must be paid for using a valid credit or debit card or via Venmo or any other payment type specified. When Your Booking is confirmed, a reservation number is given. This number must be retained for access to Your Booking details if cancellation or amendment is necessary. You may need to quote this reservation number when contacting Us.

Prices

All prices are net of any Federal, State or City taxes. Prices are per room per night. Prices do not include other costs You may choose to incur during Your stay (unless otherwise stated). Prices quoted are correct (unless a pricing error occurs) only for the specific number of guests, dates, nights and rooms shown.

Availability

In the event that We are unable to accommodate You as per Your Booking, You will be offered alternate accommodation by Us and if there is a difference in the Price, You will be liable for the price differential. However, if the differential is less than the original value of Your Booking, a refund of the difference will be made to You.

Arrival and departure

Check-in times are specified on Your Booking Confirmation. Should You wish to check-in outside of the times specified You must confirm this directly with Us. In the event that You attempt to check-in outside of the stated times without prior arrangement, We may cancel the booking and retain any amounts We are entitled to retain as stated in the Cancellation Policy section of Your Booking Confirmation. The check-out time is also specified on Your Booking Confirmation.

Cancellations & Amendments

If You cancel Your Booking on or before the cancellation deadline specified in the Cancellation Policy section of Your Booking Confirmation (the ‘Cancellation Deadline’) a full refund will be given including any booking extras paid at the time of Your Booking.
If You cancel Your Booking after the Cancellation Deadline You will be charged the full value of the applicable Cancellation fees, as specified on your Booking Confirmation, including, where applicable, any booking extras You have pre-ordered in advance of Your stay (unless specified otherwise). You accept that We retain the right to pre-charge the applicable Cancellation fees as soon as the Cancellation deadline has passed and these become due.
Should You change the number of guests, dates, room nights or room type (“Amendment”), then the prices are also subject to change. Should You request an Amendment and should We not be in a position to accommodate Your Amendment, Your Booking will be cancelled and a full refund given to You, provided that such cancellation occurs on or before the Cancellation Deadline, failing which the terms described in this Cancellation clause shall apply.

Payment

The total amount payable to confirm Your Booking is quoted in Your Booking Confirmation and will be charged to Your credit or debit card or PayPal account or any other payment type offered at the time of Booking or on check-in or check-out. Your card statement will display Our trading name (which may be different to our advertised brand) as the merchant of record. All additional goods and services purchased during Your stay must be paid in full directly with Us.

Liability

Other than for death or personal injury caused by Our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation, Our total liability to You is limited to the price of the Booking and in no circumstances will We be responsible to You for any indirect or special damages. We will not be liable for failure to provide the services to the extent that the failure is caused by any factor beyond Our reasonable control. You are responsible for any damage or loss caused to Us, including any damage to Our property by Your act, omission, default or neglect and You agree to indemnify Us and You agree to pay Us on demand the amount reasonably required to make good or remedy any such damage or loss.
