Wicker Inn (“Wicker Inn”) is a privately owned and operated hotel located at 5581 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228 (the “Property”). By making or maintaining a Reservation, You agree to cause all Guest Parties to comply with these Policies. Compliance with these Policies by You and Your Guest Parties is a requirement and condition of maintaining Your Stay at Wicker Inn. Failure to comply with these Policies may result in additional costs being charged to You and/or removal from the Suite and the Property, as provided in these Policies and by applicable law.
Payment in full for the Reservation is due no later than 60 days prior to arrival. Checks should be made payable to “WICKER INN” in U.S. funds. American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover card payments are also accepted. If payment in full is not timely received, then at the discretion of Wicker Inn, the Reservation will be canceled, and You will be charged a $500.00 cancelation fee.
If the Reservation is canceled in writing at least 90 days prior to the check-in date, the Reservation will be canceled and a $500.00 cancelation fee will be charged; provided, however, Wicker Inn reserves the right to not accept a cancelation for any Reservation that falls within the high season months of January, February, and March. Except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, all other cancelation requests will be honored in Wicker Inn’s sole discretion. Unless Wicker Inn agrees to cancel the Reservation, You will be obligated to pay the full amount of the Reservation. In the event there is a natural disaster prior to check-in that damages the Property and which substantially interferes with Wicker Inn’s ability to honor the Reservation, Wicker Inn shall provide You with written notice thereof, and at Your written request, Wicker Inn shall cancel the Reservation, whereupon all sums paid to Wicker Inn for the Reservation shall be promptly returned to You.
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. on the check-in date, except for Jan. 1st, Feb. 1st, March 1st and April 1st, when check-in is not guaranteed until 5:00 p.m. You may check with Wicker Inn 10 days prior to Your arrival for check-in times and instructions to access the Property.
Check-out time on the check-out date is 10:00 a.m. Guests must check out directly with the front office prior to the designated check-out time. Failure to timely check out may result in a charge for an additional day. Please return keys to the office at check-out. Lost or unreturned keys will result in a charge of $35.
A security deposit in the amount of $250.00 is required for the Reservation. The security deposit is due at check-in. The security deposit will be used to reimburse Wicker Inn for all incidentals, damages, repairs, replacements, additional cleaning costs, and all other costs and expenses caused or necessitated by You or any Guest Parties during or related in any way to Your Stay, including any breach of these Policies. If the total amount of any such damages, expenses, or costs exceed the amount of the security deposit, You agree to remit payment for all additional amounts within 10 days after receipt of written demand by Wicker Inn, which demand shall include a statement of the total damages, charges, and expenses. If no charges will be deducted from the security deposit, Wicker Inn shall return the security deposit within 30 days.
Occupancy is limited to the guests and occupants identified in the applicable Reservation. No other persons shall use or occupy the Suite without the prior written consent of Wicker Inn, which may be withheld in Wicker Inn’s sole discretion. All of Your other visitors and guests must check in with the Wicker Inn office. No more than four visitors or guests are permitted at any given time. Parties and large gatherings are expressly prohibited. You are responsible for all actions of Your Guest Parties.
