Poor Weather Policy
Your reservation is subject to the above cancellation policies unless all air service and ferry service from all ports is cancelled due to inclement weather. Please note that the New London ferry may cancel service while the ferry from Point Judith may continue to run.
If planes are not flying due to inclement weather, please allow sufficient time to take the ferry so that you will not forfeit the charge for your room.
