More Details About Check In and Checkout
Physical Check-in is between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM at The Inn Office. We can’t wait to meet you and provide information about your Unit, Community First! Village, and answer any questions you may have.
We also realize traveling and busy schedules don't always allow us that chance to meet, so if you are arriving later than 5:00 PM or cannot meet with us beforehand, no worries. Just read our policies and the Check -In emails to assist you with Self Check In. And if possible, please let us know before your stay so we can prepare for you. We can leave the light on for you and prepare what you need.
All units have been equipped with a keypad locks and lockboxes. When you arrive, check your email to find your entry code and attached map. You should easily be able to locate and access your unit. 
Checkout is 10:00 a.m. We have a small, awesome team that needs time to prepare rooms for arriving guests. If you require more time, a late checkout can sometimes be arranged with prior notification for $40. Please let us know as soon as you are able, preferably within 24 hours prior to your stay.  
 
Children 
We love kids! Our property is oriented toward families who are interested in learning how to embody a lifestyle of service with the homeless. Children up to age 17 must be accompanied by a parent and must stay in the parent’s room. Due to the tiny size of our units, it may be challenging to have infants ages 0-2 years of age. We do not offer cribs or changing tables. 
 
Credit Card Authorization and Payment 
A valid credit card is required to make a reservation. We accept Visa and Mastercard. Your credit card will be authorized for the full reservation amount at the time the cancellation period expires (see cancellation time frames above). If using a debit card, please note that your bank will hold your funds at this time; for this reason, bank cards are discouraged for all reservations. No other forms of payment are allowed.

Please check with us first. Due to the intimate nature of our property, private events that include guests who are staying at the property require approval.
