Cancellation Policy

Please understand we are a small, seven room property and cannot afford last minute cancellations.  You may cancel within 24 hours of the original reservation as long as it is outside of the 7 day arrival window without penalty. There is a $35 cancellation fee for all other cancelled reservations. Inside of the 7-day arrival window all reservations are considered non-cancellable and you are responsible for the entire amount of your scheduled stay.  We may refund an appropriate amount if we are successful in re-booking the room. A 14-day cancellation notice is required for all holiday and special event stays. If your reservation falls over a holiday or special event, we may contact you with additional requirements and/or deposits.  If you have booked more than one room, the cancellation policy is 14-days prior to arrival. Your card on file will be charged 7-days prior to arrival.

Thank you for understanding. If you need to cancel, please do so by email to ensure receiving a written cancellation confirmation.

PLEASE protect yourself and purchase travel insurance for the occasional mishap in your lives. Motel Inverness cannot be financially responsible for cancellations falling within the outlined policy. Here are suggestions from Google:
