Luxury Dana Point Coastal Accommodations

To ensure the comfort and enjoyment of our guests the following policies apply to your dog’s stay:

1. Dog Fees: There is a $200 USD non-refundable Dog Cleaning Fee for the first dog, $100 non-refundable Dog Cleaning Fee for the second dog, plus a Dog Boarding Fee of $75 per night, per dog.

2. Service Animals: Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animals are working animals, not pets. As such, they are not subject to additional fees. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and remain subject to the pet agreement and associated fees. For more information, visit ada.gov.

3. Damage Assessment: You will be billed for any damage caused by your dog or for any extraordinary cleaning necessary after your dog's stay. You must tender a valid credit card at check-in as payment for any damage or extraordinary cleaning costs related to your dog's stay. By signing this agreement, you expressly authorize the Hotel to charge these costs to your credit card during or after your stay.

4. Barking & Disruption: We reserve the right to require immediate removal of any dog that displays dangerous or unacceptable behavior, including, but not limited to, biting, excessive barking, evidence of disease, or urination or defecation in public areas. You will be responsible for all charges relating to the removal of your dog including transportation, kennel charges, and compensation for other guests disrupted by your dog.

5. Leashes & Identification: Dogs must be leashed and accompanied by owner or held in arms in all common areas of the hotel, including outdoors. Leashes may not be longer than six feet, and retractable leashes are not permitted. You will also be provided with a complimentary bandana for your dog. This is to be attached to his/her collar, or leash, at all times while on property, so that we may easily identify your dog as a guest of the Hotel.

6. Acceptable Dogs: We welcome up to (2) well-mannered, disease-free dogs per guest room, weighing no more than 40 pounds.

7. Dog-Friendly Areas: Dogs are welcome in our main lobby and guest rooms. Dogs are not permitted where food and beverage is being served, in pool areas, or at golf courses. Please dispose of dog waste appropriately.

8. "Dog in Room" Sign: Please place the "Dog in Room" sign on the outside of your door whenever your dog is in your room. Your dog(s) may not be left in the room unattended at any time during your stay. For your convenience our concierge team can assist you with arranging a dog sitter for your stay.

9. Housekeeping: For the safety and comfort of your dog, Housekeeping will enter your room only if: (a) your dog is not present or (b) you are present and your dog is leashed or caged. Please contact our Front Desk to arrange a convenient time to service your room.

10. Insurance: You represent that you maintain personal liability insurance in reasonable amounts sufficient to protect against damage or injury caused by your dog.

11. Release and Indemnification: You agree to release, defend, and indemnify Dana Point Beach Resort LLC, Dana Point Beach Resort II, LLC dba Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort from any and all claims or damages related to your dog or your dog's stay at the Hotel, including any claims by third-parties.
