You can check for
availability online, and make reservations up to 24 hours in advance of your
arrival. If you need reservations the day you will be arriving, please contact
us by phone or e-mail as this information will not appear in the system.
Travelers, please note, that while looking is free, booking online
adds expense--no matter what hotel you use. We offer online information as a
convenience, so you can check availability, which is a first (and free) step,
If you opt to book online, the fee is usually fairly minor: 4% if you use this
site, but up to 25% if you use some of the online travel agencies.
Because we have no control over this cost, we consider booking surcharges an
"incidental" fee. In an attempt to avoid inflating prices for ALL our
clients, we do NOT (as the agents will try to tell you) deduct booking
charges from your room rate. That said, our rates are so utterly
reasonable, most people don't care about the $4.00 and are happy to secure a
unit.
When we personally book a room for you, there is no surcharge, but you may have
to wait a short period to find out if we can accommodate you. In short, if
timing is more an issue than money, booking online works very well.
It is your choice--if you have questions please call, 509 838-9140,

Please read important reservation information
below:
Rates online:
Our online booking agent gives a rate on the first page for
single occupancy. When you fill in the number of rooms ("1" for each apartment)
and number of adults/children you plan to house, the next page will give you the
actual rate. It is very important that these be filled in correctly so we know
how many guests--and therefore towels, soaps, extra bedding, etc., you will
require.
Rates, deposits and cancellation policies:
As you've probably noticed, our rates are extremely reasonable: you're getting a
lot of features and amenities usually only available in Hotels and Inns twice
the cost--and in some cases not available anywhere else. To facilitate this
(and so travel agents don't indiscriminately tie up inventory with "just in
case" reservations) we require a deposit to reserve space. Should you need to
reschedule your trip, we will make every effort to rebook you into the room you
desire, using your deposit as a credit against your next stay, but the deposit
is nonrefundable. No shows are charged the full amount of the stay so make sure
you let us know if your plans change.
Check in and questions:
Please make sure you call for key codes and check-in information the week before
you arrive. (Not the day you arrive--sometime the week before.) This said, I
can be reached via my cell phone at (509) 879-4619
for check in codes. BUT
WAIT!!!! I can't make reservations or answer availability questions from my cell
phone (no computer in the garden, laundry room, etc.) so please use the main
answering service number (509) 838-9140 for questions whose answers I might not
have stored in my brain or pocket book. I'll call you back promptly, I promise!
Looking forward to seeing you!
