Terms & Conditions

The terms you agree to when you book with us. We have tried to keep them fair, and to say plainly what happens if plans change.

All personal information will be processed in accordance with our privacy statement, which is available upon request at the website https://suttermansion.com/.

1. Guest Acknowledgment

By booking accommodation with Sutter Mansion, guests agree to abide by the terms and conditions outlined below. These terms are subject to change without prior notice.

2. Reservation, Payment & Cancellation Policy

We are a small independent property, so every room matters to us. Because a last-minute cancellation is hard for us to fill, we ask that you review the terms below before booking.

Flexible Rate

  • The full amount of the reservation is taken at the time of booking.
  • Free cancellation up to 5 days before arrival; your payment is refunded in full.
  • If you cancel within 5 days of arrival, no refund is given.
  • Date changes are free up to 5 days before arrival, subject to availability and the rate for the new dates. Changes within 5 days of arrival are treated as a cancellation.

Non-Refundable Rate

  • Booked at a 10% discount in exchange for a firm commitment.
  • Paid in full at the time of booking.
  • Cannot be canceled, refunded, or changed to different dates.

No-Shows

If a guest does not arrive and has not canceled, the full stay will be charged.

Group Bookings, Events & Full Property Buyouts

Please email care@suttermansion.com. Contracted or recurring group bookings follow the terms of the signed agreement.

All cancellation or modification requests must be submitted in writing to care@suttermansion.com. Any applicable refund will be processed within 14 business days of confirmation. Bookings made via third-party platforms (e.g. Expedia, Booking.com) are subject to the respective platform's cancellation policies.

3. Check-In / Check-Out

  • Check-in: 3:00 PM
  • Check-out: 11:00 AM

Late check-out requests are subject to availability and may incur an additional fee.

4. Security Deposit & Damages

A $300 hold will be pre-authorized on the guest's credit card at check-in to cover incidentals and damages. This hold may take several days post-departure to be released by the issuing bank.

Guests are liable for any damage or loss caused by themselves or their visitors to the property, furnishings, or equipment. Charges for repair or replacement will be billed to the card on file.

5. Smoking Policy

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside all guest rooms and indoor spaces. A $500 cleaning fee will be charged for violations. This reflects the average cost of specialized cleaning and lost room revenue due to policy violations.

6. Pet & Service Animal Policy

Sutter Mansion welcomes service animals as defined under the ADA and California Fair Housing regulations, regardless of pet policy.

We offer one pet-friendly suite (Room 203). Fees apply:

  • $150 per dog (max 85 lbs), crate required.

Emotional support animals (ESAs) are not permitted without prior approval and documentation.

7. Additional Person Charges

  • Each additional person: $30, the same for a child as for an adult

8. House Rules

No parties or events are allowed unless prior written consent is given. Guests must maintain a respectful noise level and community consideration.

Gate remotes, where applicable, must be returned upon checkout. A $45 fee will apply for unreturned remotes.

9. Accessibility

Our property complies with all applicable local, state, and federal accessibility laws, including the ADA. If you require specific accessibility features, please contact care@suttermansion.com in advance to confirm availability.

10. Valuables & Liability

Sutter Mansion is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items unless caused by gross negligence. Guests should ensure doors and windows are securely locked at all times.

11. Use of Premises

This booking does not constitute a lease or sub-tenancy. Use is temporary and limited strictly to the duration of the booking. Guests must have a permanent residence elsewhere and acknowledge that their stay at Sutter Mansion is for short-term accommodation only.

Sutter Mansion retains full control and possession of the premises at all times.

12. Left Items / Abandonment

Items left behind will be held for 30 days. After this period, Sutter Mansion may dispose of or donate the items, unless retrieval arrangements are made.

13. Legal Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes arising shall be resolved in the appropriate San Francisco County court.

14. Privacy & Data Use

By providing your contact details, you consent to Sutter Mansion using your personal information to communicate booking details and important service updates. We do not add you to a marketing list. Full details are available in our Website Privacy Policy.

15. Acceptance

By confirming your booking, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and authorize Sutter Mansion to process any charges associated with your stay, including damages and fees, as outlined above.

All reservations are subject to these terms and the House Rules displayed at each property and on check-in. These are binding on all guests.

In accordance with U.S. law, Sutter Mansion retains the right to update or amend these terms as required.
