If an establishment accepts credit cards, it will generally be VISA or Mastercard. Some inns will accept your personal check with proper identification. Always check on the method of payment when you make your reservation. Be sure to reserve to avoid disappointment. When you book, be sure to discuss your requirements and confirm prices, services and other details.
Innkeepers tend to be delightfully helpful.
If you plan to arrive earlier or later than the stated check-in time, please phone ahead to let them know. A guarantee, deposit, or advance payment is required at some inns. Whether or not they can be accommodated is generally noted. Many inns with limited facilities for children will often have specific rooms set aside for families. Be sure to inquire when you book your room.
