Welcome to Our Home!

We wish to provide you with a relaxing stay in Port Townsend. We sincerely hope you will enjoy staying with us and will do our best to accommodate you. Please keep in mind that this property is our home. House rules are established for the comfort, privacy and security of all guests, as well as your hosts. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Accessibility & Comfort
The house is a historic building and is not ADA accessible. There are no ground-level suites and no elevators. Please review our Accessibility information prior to booking and call if you have additional inquiries. Guest comfort and safety are our top priority.

• Accessibility:
• Air Quality: Each suite is equipped with an air purifier for guest use in the event that smoke from wildfires reaches our area
• Temperatures:
  • Cooling: The house does not have central air conditioning. We have installed ceiling fans in each guest suite and provide a portable air conditioner and window screens in summer months.
  • Heat: While the house does have a central furnace system, we primarily heat the rooms being used. Each guest suite is equipped with a propane fireplace that heats the space very well, and an additional electric space heater option for more fine-tuned temperatures. The dining room and parlor are heated during guest occupancy, but the hallway and foyer spaces we pass through do not have a heat source aside from ambient warmth from adjacent spaces. For your comfort, we recommend dressing in layers during colder months.

Any Issues
If you need something or there is a problem with your suite, please tell us so we can make your stay one you will remember fondly.

Breakfast & Parking Included

• A gourmet, three-course breakfast is included. Service is in our Dining Room. The first course is served at 8:00 am.
• Parking is free and off-street. One vehicle per suite, under 19 ft. only.

Cancellation & Change Policies

As a small, independent property, cancellations affect us significantly. You are expected to have reviewed our policies and gotten your questions answered prior to booking, to understand the policies that will govern any cancellation or change to your reservation, and to respect that our policies are firm. Special Offers are always non-refundable. Other refunds vary (see below). We strongly encourage all guests to acquire travel insurance or other trip protection to provide reimbursement options in the unlikely event you must cancel due to personal health issues, family emergencies, or other travel interruptions outside of the refundable window for your reservation.

• Season-Specific Cancellation Policies
  • Off-Peak (Nov – May 14):
    • Full refund of deposits minus a $50 fee/room if canceled by 14 days before your scheduled arrival (by 4 pm). No refund for cancellations within 14 days of  arrival.
    • Cancellations within 48 hours of booking and also at least 7 days prior to arrival will receive a full refund minus a $50 cancellation fee/room.
  • Peak (May 15 – Oct, plus Thu – Mon the weekends of select festivals):
    • Full refund of deposits minus a $50 fee/room if canceled by 30 days before your scheduled arrival (by 4 pm). No refund for cancellations within 30 days of arrival.
    • Cancellations within 48 hours of booking and also at least 14 days prior to arrival will receive a full refund minus a $50 fee/room.

• General Cancellation Policies
  • No credits/refunds for late arrivals, early departures, or no-shows.
  • The amount you are refunded will never be more than the amount you have actually paid as of the time you cancel. 
  • In the event of global pandemic or government-issued shut-down, we reserve the right to offer a credit voucher in place of a cash or credit refund. This credit voucher can be used for a future stay for up to 12 months from the original arrival date.
  • Reservation Date Changes within cancellation window: Changing the date of a reservation inside the cancellation window is a cancellation.
  • Reservations Booked through third parties / online travel agencies (i.e. not directly with us): Our best rates and most flexible cancellation policies are available when you book directly with us. Reservations booked through 3rd-party agencies are subject to the booking agency’s cancellation policy.
  • If cancelling part of a minimum-stay-required reservation means the remaining dates no longer conform to requirements, the entire stay will be cancelled and any dates retained on your reservation will be rebooked at their standard rates.
  • We will not engage in debates about our cancellation policies.
  • Non-Refundable Rate Option: Occasionally we offer a nonrefundable promotional rate at a discount from our standard rates. When available, these reservations are exclusive offers that require full prepayment at the time of booking and are both non-refundable and non cancellable. No modifications allowed.
  • Travel Insurance: See Travel Protection & Worry-Free Bookings section below.

• How to Cancel Your Reservation
  • If you booked with us directly, the individual who booked the reservation should contact us by email. We will only accept cancellation requests made by the individual who booked the reservation and will not discuss the cancellation or any refund eligibility with other individuals.
  • If you booked using a third-party platform or agency (Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Expedia, etc.), you also must cancel via their platform and the cancellation policies detailed there apply to your reservation. The Adams Pragge House is not responsible for cancelling your reservation made via third parties on the third-party platform.

Check-In
4:00 – 6:00 pm (after 6:00 pm must be pre-arranged). Arrivals after Quiet Hours start at 10:00 pm are strongly discouraged. Because our small housekeeping staff needs the full time between reservations to prepare suites for the next guests, we are generally unable to accommodate requests for check-in before 4pm.

Check-Out
By 11:00 am. Late checkout requests will be considered upon prior request, are subject to determination based on hotel occupancy, and may incur additional charges at the owner’s discretion.

Out of an abundance of caution and to protect the dog from surprises or other situations that may make her uncomfortable, we keep the dog on leash and do not bring her out to meet guests. Our pets are prohibited from entering the kitchen according to our Public Health regulations and are not permitted in guest rooms.

Travel Protection & Worry-Free Bookings

Some credit card company’s also include trip protection as part of their account services. If you must cancel and have acquired travel insurance, we will cooperate fully with requests for documentation from your insurer. Please understand that regardless of your reason for cancelling, you remain responsible to The Adams Pragge House for the cost your reservation, according to our Cancellation Policies, should you need to cancel or change your reservation outside of our allowable window for refund eligibility. (See Cancellation & Change Policies.)

During the check-out process on our site, you will see Worry-Free Bookings as an option to purchase a reimbursable booking (subject to certain conditions, limits, and eligibility) at an increased price to a non-reimbursable booking. The increased price is embedded in the booking price. Worry-Free Bookings is a separate entity from The Adams Pragge House and from our booking engine, ResNexus. The Service is essentially an upgrade and not a contract of insurance; the reimbursement is conditional on certain circumstances which may be viewed on https://worryfreebookings.com/resnexus/. Please review the Worry-Free Bookings terms before purchasing. If you prefer to secure travel protection through other means and decline the Worry-Free Bookings offer, simply opt out before paying for your reservation.
