Security Bond Policy

At Motel Kempsey, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all our guests. To ensure this, we may require a security bond under certain circumstances.

Standard Policy:

A security bond may be requested at check-in as a precautionary measure to cover potential damages, excessive cleaning, or other incidental costs incurred during the stay.

Exemptions:

Regular clients, corporate accounts, and guests with a history of positive stays may be exempt from this requirement, at the discretion of management.

Circumstances Requiring a Security Bond, including but not limited to:

New Guests or First-Time Visitors: A bond may be required for guests who are staying with us for the first time.

Inconsistent or Incomplete Payment Information: A bond may be required if there are discrepancies or concerns with the payment details provided during booking.

Non-Discriminatory Application:

The decision to require a bond is based solely on objective criteria and risk assessment related to the booking itself, and not on any personal characteristics of the guest (such as nationality, gender, etc.). This ensures that our policy is fair, transparent, and free from discrimination.

Bond Amount:

The amount of the bond will be communicated clearly at the time of booking or check-in. It is determined based on factors such as the length of stay, room type, and specific circumstances of the booking.

Refunds:

The security bond will be fully refunded upon a satisfactory inspection of the room at check-out, provided there are no damages, excessive cleaning requirements, or unpaid charges.

This policy is designed to protect both the motel and our guests while maintaining fairness and transparency in our operations. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
