Policies

⚓ Ahoy, matey! Welcome aboard The Pirate Haus Inn. We pride ourselves on clean, comfortable quarters at fair prices – because we figure ye book a room to sleep, not to be pampered like a royal! Here be all ye need to know to make yer stay smooth sailin’.

🏴‍☠️ Our Philosophy: Low Prices, Simple Comfort

  • We keep it simple: a clean room, a cozy bed, and a few essentials.
  • Towels are provided by law: one bath towel and one washcloth per person. No hand towels, but your bath towel will do just fine.
  • Soap and shampoo are modest – bring yer own if ye prefer something fancy.
  • We don’t supply paper napkins or Kleenex; paper towels and toilet paper will do the job.

What we do spoil ye with:

  • A Belgian chocolate coin for each guest
  • Strong 100% Colombian coffee (because pirates need their grog – I mean coffee!)

⚓ General Policies

  • NO SMOKING inside The Pirate Haus Inn at any time.
  • NO BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTIES. 
  • Pets: Sorry, none allowed. We can recommend kennels or boarding options.
  • Cancellations: 7-day notice normally; 14-day notice during holidays. You must receive a physical confirmation from the Pirate Inn staff, otherwise you will still be responsible for the full cost of your booking.
  • Room Requests: While ye may set yer sights on a particular cabin, no room be promised as certain. For example, a pair o’ sailors might book the Map Room or the Pirate Room – both fit for families – but should a full crew of kin come aboard requestin’ quarters, we reserve the right to reassign ye to another cabin. Take heart, though – the longer ye plan to stay, the less likely it be that we’ll have to move ye to different lodgings!
  • Privacy: To respect your privacy and provide you with personalized service, your room will not be disturbed during your visit at The Pirate Haus Inn unless you have specific housekeeping requests. If you need something during your stay, just let us know.
