By entering any of our properties, please see our terms and conditions which you agree to abide with when staying with us: –
CHECK-IN TIME
From 14:00 (2pm). (In certain circumstances – with no guarantees and subject to availability a prior arrangement may be found).
Please report ‘any’ damages or concerns immediately. Our house keeping make vigorous checks of the apartment before handover, the assumption will be any damage incident not reported will have occurred during the current in house guests stay.
We have provided fresh clean towels and a fully stocked kitchen for our serviced apartments, but please let us know if you need anything else and we will try our best to obtain for you. Basic tea, coffee, sugar and toilet rolls are provided upon check-in but will not be re-stocked during the stay.
CHECK-OUT TIME
Check-out time is 10:00 am. Our housekeeping will be informed at least one day before. Apartments take a long time to clean so unfortunately late check-out is not available. If you require the apartment later than the checkout time, please contact us one day before checkout to enquire about a one-day extension. We normally have no room for baggage storage, but housekeeping will advise if a solution is possible.
If you ‘self-check-out’ please ensure keys, car park key fobs & parking permits if applicable, are left in the Kitchen area, letterbox or mailbox, depending on the property (see welcome information folder for details) and contact us when vacating the apartment. Charges apply for any keys not returned. Our staff will inspect the property and any damages will incur charges. Please report anything unsatisfactory upon check-in.
ENERGY USAGE
Energy UK has risen domestic energy prices throughout the UK and have been constantly rising this year, sometimes over 50%-70% and more. This is causing Energy bills to sore across all of our properties. As Coventry Home is an Eco-friendly company, and in line with our policy of fair energy usage per apartment (2-bedroom average of 420Kwh per month cap, approx 15 Kwh per day), we have decided to install ‘Smart Meters’ to all our apartment meters. This will monitor energy and heating levels in each apartment to ensure no excessive overuse occurs.
Meter readings will be taken upon check-in, during the stay and check-out to record energy usage levels. Extreme and unfair over usage may be charged to the occupy as per our terms and conditions www.coventryhome.co.uk.
Tips for eco energy usage: –
- Always make sure heating and lighting is turned off in every room before leaving the apartment.
- Close doors to increase heating per room and not let heat escape.
- Use the timer – Heating should be off from 11pm to 6am by using the timer rather than on continuous use. Timers can be also set for daytime use.
We reserve the right to inspect the apartments without notice at any time between the hours of 9.00 am to 8.00 pm.
