Currently, the Inn is not taking new guest reservations.
All reservations should be made online in the Inn’s website at https://middletoninn.com and fully paid before check-in with a credit card as per the room rates posted and payment instructions therein. Reservations are not confirmed until full payment is received and an email is sent by the Innkeeper to the person that requested the booking confirming the reservation. Until the reservation is confirmed, the rate is not confirmed either. If you don’t receive a confirmation within 48 hours after making the reservation or should you experience a problem with the online reservation system, please get in touch with the innkeeper at innkeeper@middletoninn.com or call (540)2275127.
Reservation rates are subject to change without notice and exclude applicable state/local taxes, which will be calculated when the reservation is made. Currently, the applicable Virginia state tax rate is 5.3% and the Town of Washington’s lodging and meals tax is 2.5%. There will be typically a discount on the standard room rate for stays longer than one night. For certain days, notably during holidays or long weekends, a minimum two-night stay may be required. Should the prospective guest experience a problem with the online reservation system, please get in touch with the innkeeper at innkeeper@middletoninn.com.
The minimum age for guests at check-in is 21 years. Guests below that age need to be accompanied by parents or legal guardians of that age or older that will stay as guests in the same building (main house or cottage) as the respective guests under that minimum age. Children under the age of thirteen (“13”) and fully vaccinated pets (without a bite-history and flea-free) can be accommodated in the cottage but not in the main house, where quiet hours should be respected between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am. Parents or legal guardians that accompany guests under 18 years of age acknowledge that they have the duty of control and reasonable discipline for the minor and assume liability for any property damage or violation caused by negligent conduct or willful and malicious conduct of the respective minor(s). Upon checking-in, the accompanying adult(s) may be asked to sign a term of responsibility in connection with such requirements or conditions.
Check-in time is 3-6 PM and check out time is 11 AM. Breakfast is served between 8:30 and 9:30 am and complimentary drinks/snacks to guests are served between 4 pm and 6 pm. SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE PROPERTY. Disturbing noise, illegal drugs and underage drinking are not permitted anywhere on the property either. Reservation is conditional to the acceptance of these and other house rules and regulations which are posted in the bedrooms and available from the Innkeeper upon request via email prior to making a reservation.
The cancellation policy of the Middleton Inn (“the Inn” henceforth) is as follows. For guests booking one or two accommodations: If a party has to cancel and does so two weeks or more before the arrival date, they will be refunded everything minus a $25 fee per room, per night. The same policy applies if a party cancels within the two-week period and we can rebook the accommodation. If, however, we cannot rebook the accommodation, the party is responsible for the full payment, and the $25 fee per room, per night. For guests booking three or more accommodations: in this case, our non-refundable policy kicks in, which means the first night full amount for the three or more accommodations will be charged the day the reservation is made and is non-refundable. The second night will be charged 60 days prior to arrival and it too is non-refundable. The rationale for a stricter cancellation policy for multi-room or group reservations is that the impact of cancellations on the Inn’s revenues can be far more significant when many room reservations are cancelled at the same time, since rebooking several rooms at shorter notice is more difficult.
