Deposits –

A Deposit for the first night’s stay, plus tax, is required to reserve your room. For multiple rooms being booked, each room reserved must have a Deposit to secure your desired dates.

If your stay is one night only, the full amount will be taken as your Deposit.

Major credit cards are accepted – VISA, Visa Debit cards, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

If you pay in Cash, you must have a valid credit card on file for incidentals.

Cancellations & Changed Reservations –

Sweetwater Inn and Spa is a small local Inn. If you cancel your reservation more than 7 days before arrival, you will receive a refund of your deposit, minus a $35 Cancellation Fee. If you cancel your reservation less than 7 days before your arrival, you will be charged the full amount of your reservation and forfeit any refund. If a reservation date change is requested and granted 7 days or more before your check-in date, a $35.00 Reservation Change Fee will be applied to your reservation for processing.

*Exception – Reservations made on or after July 1, 2024, have free cancellation 24 hours after booking is confirmed. Only applies to reservations made 72 hours or more to arrival of stay, and must be refunded within 30 days of cancellation, (CA Senate Bill 644).  To simplify, reservations made within 72 hours of check-in, the 24-hour cancellation policy does not apply.

Check-in time is from 4 pm to 6 pm. Check-out time is promptly at 11 am. Thank you! We appreciate your understanding to prepare the room for the next guest.
For late arrivals after 6 pm, please call the office for arrangements.

Smoking-

There is no smoking in any of our rooms. Smoking is limited to outside areas only. A charge for excessive cleaning and any lost income will be applied to guests smoking in their rooms.

Pet Policies

We are happy to accommodate your pets at Sweetwater Inn. There is a fee of $35 per pet per night. Out of consideration for your surroundings and your fellow guests, we ask that you kindly observe the following policies:

  • Please note that we only accept pet dogs, and there is a limit of 2 dogs per room.
  • Please do not leave your pet alone in your room. Pets frequently become nervous in new surroundings and sometimes create damage or make unnecessary noise as a result.
  • A pet sheet will be provided to cover your pet’s sleeping area, the bed or any other furniture your pet may climb on. We also provide a towel for wet and muddy paws.
  • When walking on Sweetwater grounds, please keep your pet on a leash. We appreciate your pet being supervised at all times.
  • A small shovel and garbage bin can be found next to the laundry room door. Please clean up after your pet.
  • Please be courteous of our guests. Some people are allergic, afraid of or not used to animals.

In the unlikely event that your pet incurs damage, you will be charged for the actual cost for excessive cleaning, repairs and/or replacement.

Thank you for your cooperation.
