Cluster Hotel Policies: NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS/EXHIBITORS
WHEN YOU SIGN THE ENTRY FORM, YOU AUTOMATICALLY AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS CONCERNING MOTELS EXTENDING THEIR PLACE TO YOU. THE FOLLOWING RULES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THE GOOD OF ALL EXHIBITORS CONCERNED.

All exhibitors read the regulations on hotel/motel accommodations.

All motels accepting dogs require plastic under crates - NO EXCEPTIONS. Plastic sheeting is to be placed under every crate in motel rooms. This will keep carpets clean & dry. It will be the responsibility of each exhibitor to provide his/her own plastic sheeting for each crate.

Dogs must be crated when owner is out of the room. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times while in the hotel, lobbies or on hotel grounds. Rooms & lobby must be kept clean of dog debris.

Dogs should be “exercised” in designated areas on motel premises. Every dog owner/handler is expected to pick up after his/her dog & dispose of waste in designated trash cans. It is the responsibility of the dog owner to find out from the innkeeper where these areas & cans are located.

Due to severe clogging problems with the drain pipes, no dog may be bathed in the hotel. Crating & bathing facilities with hot & cold water are available at the show site.

Rooms will be inspected daily by members of the hotel staff & observed violations or damages will be reported to the hotel management and/or the investigative committee.

The investigative committee,working with a fair & equitable system, is charged with investigating complaints.

Each dog owner/registrant is expected to cooperate with the investigative committee, hopefully settling damage claims on the spot, or else must be willing to furnish information such as insurance policy numbers & other pertinent information as required/requested.

Should a hotel/motel, for cause, deem it necessary to cancel room privileges, the registrant agrees to forego legal actions against CLUSTER CLUBS & the hotel/motel.

Motel/hotels have the right to charge a deposit (refundable or non-refundable).
