We hope that Allerton is a peaceful place to find respite, relaxation, and inspiration during this challenging time. In order to ensure your safety and the safety of our staff, we are following the recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and have implemented the following policies and procedures. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Touchless Check-In/Check-Out
Payment will be processed with the credit card on file that was used to make your reservation. No signatures will be required upon arrival, but we will be asking for a verbal consent of our non-smoking policy. There is a barrier between guests and our Front Desk staff.
Room Keys
All keys are disinfected before handing to guests and upon return to the Front Desk. Visitors staying in the guesthouses (Gatehouse, House in the Woods, and Evergreen Lodge) should utilize our curbside pick-up for their keys, and leave keys in their room upon departure.
Hotel Rooms
A reduced number of hotel rooms are available to minimize congestion. In addition to our normal cleaning protocol, all surfaces are disinfected with an atomizer.
