MOTEL POLICY

We strive to provide our guests with an exceptionally clear, safe and friendly motel experience. The following motel policy has been established based on industry standards, management and operational procedures, and our personal experience of owning and operating The Relax Inn since 1994.

Smoking Policy

The Relax Inn has limited smoking rooms available. These rooms are marked as "smoking" and guest who stay in these rooms are asked to be respectful of the smoking policy. The Relax Inn has the right to charge any guest if the policy has been neglected. 

For all rooms that are marked as "non-smoking," we ask that guest do not expose or create an odor which is unhealthy and objectionable to other guests and our staff, these include odors that are difficult to remove from the air, carpet, walls, and furniture . We do not permit smoking tobacco, marijuana, illegal drugs, e-cigarettes, vape pens (cartridges containing the liquid of nicotine), hookahs, incense, cooking/grilling, cigars, candle burning, the use or diffusing of patchouli oil or other strong-smelling plant-based essential oils and/or synthetic products in our facility.

Guest are encouraged to notify Front Desk staff immediately if they smell cigarette, marijuana, and/or other objectionable odors. This policy is not intended to stop people from smoking, but to regulate where they smoke and how it could potentially affect others. 

Marijuana is prohibited at all times.

Guaranteed Reservations

All reservations must be guaranteed with a valid major credit card upon booking. Guest must be 21 years and older to book a room. We Accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card. We do not charge your credit card at the time you make a reservation but your credit card guarantees your reservation.
