Check-in Requirements

  • At check-in, the individual who made the reservation must present a valid photo identification that may include a driver's license, passport, and/or state issued identification card. A guest must be 21 years or older to reserve a room.
  • Turf Valley Resort requires a major credit card or bank-issued debit card upon check in as authorization for incidentals such as meals, services, and merchandise. Pre-authorization validates the presented credit card and protects both the cardholder and merchant from increasing fraud incidents. We cannot accept credit card numbers; the card must be present at check-in.
  • You agree any monies or other valuables, goods or vehicles that belong to you, brought in or on to the rooms, grounds or car parking area remain your responsibility and we are not responsible for their safekeeping.

  • You agree that regardless of your length of stay there is no tenancy or other rights created under any Landlord or Tenant laws and there are no such laws that apply to your stay. We grant you a license to stay in our rooms and you agree that we may terminate the license at any time without giving you a reason.

  • Smoking in any room is against Howard County and Maryland state law. If you smoke in a guest room, you will incur cleaning fees of $250 per day
