For any occasion, from a first time visit to a romantic getaway to a business
trip, the Catherine Ward House is the best way to experience Savannah in style.
We
currently do not have a liquor license and therefore cannot serve liquor at the
Inn. Guests may bring their alcoholic beverage of choice. We happily supply
glasses and an endless supply of ice.
Each
morning, you are served a full breakfast in our dining room. We try to be ready
for the early birds who get up at the crack of dawn and we keep the frying pan
warm for the sleepy heads that just can't pull themselves out of bed. We
understand that not everyone is on the same schedule. Since most of our guests
are on vacation, we try to be flexible. Also, let us know when you are making
your reservation if your have any dietary restrictions or preferences and we
will try to accommodate them.
We
understand emergencies so we let you cancel your reservation up to three days
before you arrive with no penalty. After that, we will have to charge you for
one night if we cannot rent your room. If it is a holiday weekend or a big
event (St. Patrick’s Day or New Year’s Eve), we may lengthen the time to ten
days that you have to cancel you reservation with no penalty. In any case, we
will let you know when you make your reservation if we have any cancellation
policy in place.
Our
normal check-in time is 3:00PM. We plan our day around your anticipated arrival
time. If you are going to be more than an hour late from the arrival time on
your confirmation, please call us. If you get to town before your guestroom is
ready, you can check-in, leave your luggage at the inn, park your car, and get
an early start on your Savannah touring.
Our normal check-out time is 11:00AM. However, on your checkout day, you can
check-out of your room and we will take care of your luggage until you are
ready to leave town.
Because
of the surroundings, we ask that all guests be at least 14 years of age.
We
do not ask for deposits except for special occasions. We take deposits for
holiday weekends or for big events, like St. Patrick’s Day or New Year’s Eve.
When we do ask for a deposit, it will be for the amount of one night’s stay. We
also take a one-night deposit per room when one group books four or more rooms
for the same time.
In
a few designated guestrooms, we welcome dogs as long as they bring their human
along with them. The human has free run of the Inn but dogs must stay in their
guestroom. The dogs (and humans) must not cause any disturbance that would
inconvenience another guest or a member of the staff. We are close to the park
which is a great place for dogs and humans to walk. There is a one-time $25 Pet
Fee.
We
send and receive faxes for guests free of charge.
We
sell Gift Certificates for any dollar amount. If you would like to treat
someone to a night or a weekend at the Inn, you may do so by purchasing a Gift
Certificate at the Inn or by telephone.
For
our business travelers or those who just cannot leave their laptops behind, we
offer, at no charge, high-speed wireless internet access throughout the Inn.
(Warning! We are innkeepers not computer experts. We barely know what we are
doing ourselves when we get on the computer. Therefore, we do not and cannot
guarantee the wireless internet service we provide will be compatible with
every computer. If your computer is not compatible with our system, we can
offer recommendations of other wireless hot spot locations in Savannah.)
We
have established a relationship with a licensed masseuse to come to the Inn to
give in-room massages to our guests. If you are interested, we can make an
appointment for you or we can give you her telephone number so you can discuss
the type of massage, rates, and appointment times directly with her. Just let
us know anytime before you arrive.
The
Inn, all common areas, and guestrooms are non-smoking areas. Smoking is allowed
on the porches, balconies, and in the courtyard.
If
you are not coming, do let us know. We hate sitting up worrying about you.
Unfortunately, we will have to charge you for your entire stay if you do not
show up without contacting us in advance.
We
are located on a quiet, residential street where there is usually plenty of
on-street parking. On the rare occasion it gets crowded, we are allowed to use
a small parking lot across the street from the Inn.
To
enhance your Savannah experience, we have partnered with many Savannah
businesses to offer you special care when you visit. We are always ready to
schedule appointments, make reservations and plan itineraries for you before
you arrive or after you have checked into the Inn.
