Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellations are time-sensitive. The outline below indicates our refund policy. Always be sure of the certainty of your stay prior to booking to avoid fees and forfeiture of funds.

• With at least 15 days notice before your scheduled arrival, you may cancel and receive a full refund less a $100 fee per room reserved.
• If you cancel your reservation 3 to 14 days before your scheduled arrival, you are eligible for a full Rental Credit to be used at the Shiner Country Inn for the amount of your reservation. Rental Credit redemption is subject to availability and property-specific policies. Rental Credits do not expire, and they are transferrable to friends and family.
• When canceling 3 days prior to your scheduled arrival, your cancellation must be received by 3 PM Central Standard Time.
• Cancellations made with 3 or fewer days before your scheduled arrival are not eligible for a refund or a rental credit and will be forfeited unless you choose to gift your reservation to a friend or family member.
• To cancel, email us at wish@shinerinn.com or call us at 361-594-3335 during our office hours of 9 AM to 5 PM Central Standard Time.

Why we have the policy

Unlike chain hotels with a large supply of units, we have a very limited supply. We guarantee our reservations fully and never overbook, so when you reserve with us, we take your room completely offline. This practice guarantees your reservation, yet it exposes us to vacancies and lost revenue. A policy that is time-sensitive allows us the opportunity to re-book when cancellations are received.

Guest Representations and Point of Contact

• If the number of guests staying in the hotel room exceeds the number of guests specified in the original reservation, a per person fee for the number of guests in excess of the original reservation will be charged to the credit card on file.
• The guest who initially made the reservation will be the sole point of contact with the Shiner Country Inn for all billing issues, problems, and/or issues concerning the property rented.
  Problem Resolution
• In the event of a problem with the property or the amenities, you should contact the Shiner Country Inn and/or its affiliates immediately at 361-594-3335 to report the situation and nature of the problem. If the problem is corrected within a reasonable period of time, i.e. 24 hours, the guest is responsible for payment of the room in its entirety.
• If a repair or reasonable solution to address a problem is not completed within 24 hours of the problem being reported, a rental credit may be applied in the form of a “Hotel Credit” which can be used by you within 365 days of the original reservation to offset the cost of a future stay. Hotel management exclusively determines credit eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
