Hotel Policies & House Rules

We strive to provide our guests with an exceptionally clean, safe, and friendly hotel experience. The following Hotel Policies / House Rules have been established based on industry standards, management and operational procedures, and our personal experience of owning and operating The Society Hotel since 2015. These Hotel Policies / House Rules are considered a part of our reservation agreement with you. As our hotel guest, by reading and signing your hotel registration you are agreeing to abide by all of our Hotel Policies / House Rules, terms and conditions, and procedures, and we reserve the right to make a charge to the guest’s credit card if any fees are assessed for damages or not complying with Hotel Policies / House Rules.

ADA COMPLIANCE:

ADA ACCESSIBLE ROOMS:

Three (3) ADA compliant guest rooms are available, as well as three (3) ADA accessible shared restrooms, and should be reserved in advanced; please contact the hotel directly (503) 445-0444.

ADA SERVICE ANIMALS:

Service Animals as defined by the ADA are not pets and shall be with their owners at all times. According to Federal Code 35.136(d): Animal under handler’s control. A service animal shall be under the control of its handler. A service animal shall have a harness, leash, or other tether, unless either the handler is unable because of a disability to use a harness, leash, or other tether, or the use of a harness, leash, or other tether would interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of work or tasks, in which case the service animal must be otherwise under the handler’s control (e.g., voice control, signals, or other effective means).

Service animals must be under handler’s control at all times, and may not be left unattended on property at any time. While The Society Hotel does not charge a cleaning fee, the hotel is permitted to charge the same fee for damages as charged to other guests for any damage to our property or hotel rooms.

If a service animal is out of control (including barking), for any reason other than the task it is trained to perform for its handler, and the handler does not take effective action to control it, staff may request that the animal be removed from the premises.

Service animals left unattended on property may be assessed a fee.
