Rooms- Our seven guest rooms are
honorarily named (though not themed) after authors & one musician. While
we do not service the guest rooms while you are
checked in, should anything need attention just let us know and we'll be
happy to take care of it. Simple yet attentive.....
Bathrooms- Two guest rooms have private bathrooms,
the other five have use of 2 full and 1 half bathrooms including a soaking tub and modern shower. If you
are wondering, the shared bathrooms are single person use, and with multiple loos
available waiting is not an issue.
Beds- All our beds have been recently upgraded with luxury mattress', the same one's you'll find in a Hilton, and yes our guests have been loving them.
Minimum age for children to stay is 6 years old.
Cancellations- Rooms canceled
within a week of their date will be billed to your credit card unless
they are re-booked, in which case there is no charge. There are no
charges for rooms canceled outside of a week's notice.
7+ Nights- Stays of a week or more require
a $100 non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is charged
30 days prior to arrival, at which point canceled nights are not refundable
unless re-booked. A mid week cleaning and laundry change is
arranged and we are happy to provide further room attention if requested. Maximum length of stay is 3 weeks.
2nd Bed- Upon request we can have a twin mattress brought & setup in the Beverly Cleary, Sherman Alexie, Ken Kesey & Elliott Smith Rooms. Please arrange with us ahead of your arrival, the cost is $10 / night. Parties of 4 would need to reserve 2 rooms.
Holidays- We are open everyday. However, certain holidays you need to check-in beforehand &
check-out afterwards: Fourth of July, Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve/Christmas. This is known as a stay-thru.
Groups- Sorry but we do not accept
group reservations - we recommend searching online for vacation rentals
for this. We ask, too, that you not try to get around this by
booking rooms separately.
Check-in- Rooms are ready by 2 pm, though early and late arrivals are no problem. Room check-out is by 11am, we can store your luggage for the day and you are welcome to relax in the social rooms for the afternoon.
Room Heat & A/C- All guest rooms have
in-room heating controls, all but the Gao Xingjian and the Elliott Smith
have window a/c units in the summer.

is ready when you are, no having to work with our schedule! What is offered: strong coffee, tea, orange juice & hot chocolate for beverages; bagels & bread with an assortment of spreads; muffins, scones & fruit for quick picking; instant pancake mix and oatmeal for hot alternatives. We work with an excellent local bakery, Cravin' Raven, to provide gluten free and vegan options, too. There
are a few great cafes in the neighborhood that serve up choice breakfasts,
if you are so inclined, like Detours Cafe @ Division & 30th.

kitchen that you are welcome to cook in & prepare meals, as well as
storage and a fridge. We ask that you leave the space clean when you are finished.
