Cleaning Fee for Exceptional Messes     
Wm. Farmer and Sons strives to present each and every guest the best possible experience. We take great pride in our appearance, upholding ourselves to the highest of standards. To ensure this quality for all, we are happy to maintain the rooms for all guests during their stay, including a daily refresh. We do, however, expect all guests to enjoy within reason and note that exceptional messes will not be tolerated.  An additional fee will be charged for messes that result in the destruction of Wm.

City of Hudson Overnight Parking Rules      
We do have free parking on the street in front of the Inn. Between midnight and 8am parking alternates.  To avoid a parking ticket, cars must be moved to the odd side of the street when the next morning’s date is an odd number. Conversely, if the next day is an even-numbered date, cars should be parked on the even side of the street by midnight.  For example: if you are parking at 9pm on the 1st of the month, park on the even side of the street, as it will become an even day at midnight. Alternatively, there is also a 24 hour parking lot across from the Amtrak station, which is 2.5 blocks south of the Inn.  There is a small daily fee to park in this lot.  Wm. Farmer and Sons is not responsible for parking tickets received by guests.
