- Access credentials. Your access code or mobile key is personal to your reservation and valid only for the dates of your stay. You are responsible for keeping it confidential. Sharing access credentials with any person not registered to your reservation is prohibited and may result in additional charges or termination of your stay.
- Lockout & support. Guest support is available by phone and message for access or in-room issues. Because the property is unmanned, response times may vary; we ask for your patience and will resolve issues as quickly as reasonably possible.
5. Occupancy & Registered Guests
- Maximum occupancy. Each room has a stated maximum occupancy that must not be exceeded. Only guests registered on the reservation may occupy or access the room.
- Visitors. Non-registered visitors are not permitted in guest rooms. Unauthorized occupancy or visitors may result in additional charges and/or termination of the stay without refund.

- Smoke-free property. Maison Kesh is strictly non-smoking throughout — in all guest rooms, hallways, and interior spaces. This prohibition includes cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, vaping devices, and cannabis in any form.
- Violation fee. If evidence of smoking is found in a room or interior space, a non-smoking violation fee of $500 will be charged to the payment card on file, to cover specialized deep cleaning, odor remediation, and lost revenue from the room being taken out of service. This fee is in addition to any further damage charges.

- Assessment. We will document any such charges and provide an itemized explanation to the email on file. The absence of an on-site inspection at the moment of departure does not waive our right to assess charges for damage or violations subsequently identified.
- Reporting. Please report any pre-existing damage or maintenance issues promptly upon arrival so that we can address them and ensure they are not attributed to your stay.
9. Guest Conduct & House Rules
- Respectful use. You agree to use the property responsibly, to respect quiet hours and neighboring residents, and to comply with all posted house rules and applicable laws.
