Pets

The Canalside Inn loves to host dogs as furry friend guests. Canalside Inn does not accept pets of any other type. We know that you want to enjoy a carefree Canalside Inn experience, and don’t want to leave your furry friend at home.  Aggressive animals are not welcome to stay at Canalside Inn. All guests being accompanied by their pet must agree to the pet-terms and conditions, and pay the pet-fee along with associated security deposit. Canalside Inn reserves the right to refuse accommodation to any pet at any time prior to or during guest’s stay. Guests may be asked to leave with no refund. Here are some things Canalside Inn needs you to agree to when bringing your furry friend as a guest. Guest must provide names, addresses and telephone contacts of persons responsible for pet during their stay. Contact information must also be displayed and affixed on the cage, written legibly and durably, and on pet’s travel identification tag. It is the guest’s (pet owner’s) responsibility to keep their pet quiet and respect other guests. If the pet is excitable or prone to excessive noise-making and/or causing property damage, your pet may be required to leave the premises. We ask that you are present to care for your pet a minimum of every 4 hours. If a guest’s pet is barking to the disruption of other guests, or causing property damage that is audible, we will call the owners to return to care for your furry friend. Pet owners must take appropriate action to calm their furry friend.  If the guests (pet owners) do not return after being notified, or fail to respond to attempts to be contacted by hotel staff, Canalside Inn will attempt to calm and quiet your pet. Canalside Inn will apply a pet-sitting fee of $40 an hour for every portion of an hour that Canalside Inn staff must be present with your furry friend. Persistent ‘noise and damage’ violations will cause guests to kennel their pet off site. We acknowledge that some guests may elect to simply join their pet in alternative accommodations; and that our non-refundable policy applies.

  • Furry friends with separation anxiety cannot be left alone. 
  • Canalside Inn may have special offers to provide pet-sitting and pet-walking services for a fee. Guests may pre-purchase pet-sitting and pet-walking services in advance of their stay. Canalside Inn does not guarantee that pet-sitting and pet-walking services will be available ‘on-demand’, and may not be available during your stay unless pre-purchased. If guests do find themselves in need of pet-sitting and pet-walking services after they have arrived, simply give us a call or come to the reception desk to see if and how we can offer a solution. 
  • Clean up after your pet. We understand that mistakes happen, and your pet may urinate, defecate, and cause property damage. Please do not attempt to ‘hide’ the mess, clean it with hotel linens and towels, or do patch work. Straightaway, let the hotel management know what has happened, and we’ll work together to minimize property damage and maintain healthy clean rooms for the remainder of your stay and the future stays of other guests. 
  • If your pet soils or damages the Canalside Inn, you lose the privilege of leaving their pets unsupervised at any time. All damages that exceed the amount of deposit will be charged prior to closing the bill, based on repair estimates. 
  • Please use the outside shower to remove salt water and sand after you play outside.

Pet Fee

Pet Fees are charged per night; maximum 2 animals per room, per night. Pet fees must be paid prior to arrival. Pets not confirmed prior to arrival will be charged extra fee per night.  Any damages caused by pets over $300 will require additional payment by guests to cover all expenses associated with repairs required to restore room to original condition. Canalside Inn accepts DOGS only. No other type of pet is permitted onsite. Every pet must be registered prior to check-in. Guests will be charged $300 total for concealing animals or attempting to bring into their room or onsite any other type of pet.

Disputes

Canalside Inn is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute relating to a Reservation, we will try to resolve your concerns via our own, or our own, or the Affiliate’s, customer service agents. But if we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section. You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims associated with a Reservation that relates in any way to our own, or  our own, or  the Affiliate’s, website, any dealings with our own, or  the Affiliate’s, customer service agents, any services or products provided, any representations made by us or the Affiliate, or our own, or  the Affiliate’s, privacy policy (“Claims”) by contacting our own, or  the Affiliate’s, customer service agents. If we are not able to resolve your Claims via our own, or  the Affiliate’s, customer service agents within 60 days, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below. You waive my right to request a charge-back or any other mechanism to seek a refund through my credit card or any other payment source provided by you at time you confirmed the reservation. No refund or credit for early departure. No refund for guest voluntarily choosing to not check-inn on day of arrival, for any and all reasons. Any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our subsidiaries, travel suppliers or any companies offering products or services through us (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted this Agreement regardless of whether prior versions of the Agreement required arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Agreement as a court would. Arbitrations will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA Consumer Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, except as provided in this section. If your total Claims seek less than $10, 000, we will reimburse you for filing fees you pay to the AAA and will pay arbitrator’s fees, unless the arbitrator determines your Claims are frivolous. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed location. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to the AAA, at Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043 or online at www.adr.org or at any AAA office. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. A party requesting arbitration must also provide a copy of the request the above address listed for AAA. Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.
