Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
How do I book a Sojourn?
You can request to book a Sojourn home through our website. Search for homes by city and date. If you have specific requests or need help finding the perfect place, you can call us directly at 202-558-8619 and speak to one of us directly, or you can always reach us by emailing reservations@sojourndc.com. -
What is the check in process?
Sojourn homes don't have a traditional front desk like you'd find in a hotel. At Sojourn, we offer a seamless self-check. Since we provide the convenience of self-check-in, we need to make sure you are you before you arrive. That is why you are required to verify your ID and confirm your email address and phone number before we can send you your check-in details.
-
What are your check-in and checkout times? Are they flexible?
Our standard check in time is at 4:00 pm, and checkout is at 11:00 am. If your schedule requires a different check in or check out, we will do our best to accommodate you, but that all depends on availability. If we can’t manage to move things to fit your schedule, we can always accommodate some sort of luggage storage- just check in with our Director of (your) happiness to make arrangements. -
What do you charge for?
In addition to the cost of staying in a Sojourn home, when applicable, we charge standard hotel taxes (based on local laws and regulations) as well as a cleaning fee. In addition, if you would like cleanings during your stay with us, there will be an additional charge, which will be determined by the cleaners themselves. -
When will I be charged?
Depending on the length of your stay we will set up a monthly date. If you book less than 14 days out, your credit card will be charged at the time of booking otherwise, you will be charged 14 days prior to your check-in, however, funds will be returned for cancellations that qualify. -
Is there a security deposit?
For transient stays, and in some cases, we simply ask for you to purchase a damage waiver. This is not always a requirement.
For stays longer than 30 nights, we either require that you purchase a damage waiver or, we may charge a deposit depending on where you’re staying, and the length of your stay.
