FAQs

Do you allow kids? Pets?

Frame Hotels are intimate, tranquil adult oases. While we love both children and pets, in order to respect other guests, only guests aged 16 and older are welcome and we do not allow pets on premises. Evidence of pets will result in a minimum $400 charge plus the cost of any damaged property.

Is parking guaranteed?

Parking is first come first serve in our carport so any time there’s a free space consider it yours. If you ever see all the spaces taken, parking on the street in front of the hotel is free and unrestricted. Be sure to note the signs showing residential restrictions as you go further into the neighborhood! If all else fails, there’s a public parking lot directly across the street from the hotel — access is from Gibson St.

Can I use the Tesla charger?

Our Tesla charger will reach either of the two parking spaces on the left side of the carport. With 24 hours’ notice, we can reserve a spot for you; just let us know!

Please remember the one charger is for two spaces and we ask that you unplug from your vehicle once it’s charged so other guests can access the charger.
