SMOKING CIGARETTES, MARIJUANE AND VAPING & ILLEGAL DRUG USE

All units are NON SMOKING of any tobacco or non-tobacco product.
There is NO VAPING allowed in any of the units.
Smoking or Vaping in the units will result in a $300.00 charge being applied to your credit card and you may be asked to leave the unit, with no refund at management’s sole and absolute discretion.
Smoking is allowed on the southeast corner of the seawall. There is an ashtray there and we request that the guests NOT EMPTY THE ASHTRY ON THE SEAWALL. If it is full please let management know and we will dispose of the cigarette butts and ashes.
Marijuana: While smoking marijuana may be legal, the owner of the Lighthouse Motel does not allow guests to smoke marijuana in the units or anywhere on the Lighthouse Motel property. The odour of marijuana can be very strong and it is our policy that use of this substance cannot be allowed outside on the property or inside the units.
If you have purchased marijuana and it is in your luggage, we request that you leave the purchased marijuana in your vehicle. There have been occasions where guests have purchased marijuana and while it is packaged the strength of the substance is so strong that the odour leaks out and makes the unit smell like marijuana.
While regrettable that this policy must even be stated, there is zero tolerance for illegal drug use in the units or anywhere on the Lighthouse Motel property. This includes but is not limited to cocaine, methamphetamines, psychedelic drugs, mushrooms, fentanyl.
If a guest is found to be using illegal drugs the guest will immediately be evicted from the Unit and the Lighthouse Motel property. This is a hard and fast rule: no exceptions will be made. The owner reserves the right to contact the RCMP if such intervention is deemed to be required for the safety of the other guests and the property.
