Inn at Moonlight Beach

San Diego's Pacific Coast Bed & Breakfast Inn

Hello,

My pledge to you is a wonderful experience and a sparkling clean hot tub, and I take that pledge very seriously.

I apologize in advance for the "parental tone" of the following Penthouse Hot Tub Spa rules, but some guests just don't get it. We just can't figure out another way to get the point across to those few who think that just because they paid for a room that they can do whatever they wish!

Penthouse Hot Tub Spa Rules

If you use the Penthouse hot tub, it is your responsibility to keep it clean and sanitary by treating it the way you want last night's guests to treat it.

By Using The Hot Tub, You Agree To The Following Rules:

Never sit on the cover of the hot tub.
Always keep the insulated cover closed when not in use.
Never eat food while in the hot tub.
Shower, shampoo and rinse thoroughly before using the hot tub.
Put long hair "up" to prevent residual shampoos and conditioners from soiling the hot tup water.
The temperature is set at 101 degrees. Do not attempt to adjust the temperature.
Guests who enters the hot tub without thoroughly showering and rinsing to remove all perfumes, colognes, lotions, and sunscreen will find on oily film on the water after use. This results in us needing to empty, clean and replace all the water prior to the next guest's arrival and you will be charged a $100 cleaning and refilling fee via the credit card used to reserve the room.
Your hot tub spa cycles and filters water automatically twice a day. Do not unplug it because it will cool rapidly be unable to reheat to 101 degrees in time for our next guests for the next guests unless we partially drain it and run hoses up from our hot water heaters to refill at 101 degree temp.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GUESTS DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES

We take providing each guest with a sparking clean hot tub very seriously. This means that if a previous guest fouls the water with food, sand, body lotions, oils, etc, that we must drain the tub, wasting hundreds of gallons of precious water (we're in a drought) and refill it from our hot water heaters to ensure that it is up to temperature for our next guests. This takes us 3 hours of hard work slinging hoses and increases our water bill substantially.

We check the hot tub immediately upon the departure of each guest. We know the difference between normal use and those who use the hot tub without showering - it's night and day. If you use the hot tub, you are promising to shower with soap and water and rinse thoroughly before each use, to treat the cover as if it were your own, keep the cover on the tub when not in use, and to never consume food while in the tub.

We hate to have to say these things because they are just common sense and it sounds like we're lecturing, but if we don't, there are guests who take advantage of us and we then spend 3 hours draining, cleaning and refilling while mumbling to ourselves that this will never happen again.

So, after all that, if you cannot live by these rules, please don't reserve the Penthouse. ;-)

ANY GUEST WHO BREAKS THESE RULES AND CAUSES FOUL WATER will have their credit card charged $100. That's $25 an hour for 3 hours of labor and $25 for new water. Please treat the hot tub water the way you would want your guests to treat the water in your hot tub.

If the cover is sliced from a sharp object or carless use, or caved in from sitting on it, the credit card will be charged $200 for replacement. Please, treat the cover like it were your own.

Sorry for the lecture. ;-)

Here's what we really want to say... Have FUN!
