CANCELLATION POLICY
Reservations must be canceled 48 hours prior to check-in (4 PM local hotel time) to avoid a charge of 1 night(s) room and tax. No-shows will be charged 1-night room and tax. Prepaid reservations are often non-cancelable and non-refundable. Reservations booked through third-party vendors may only be canceled or modified through the third party and are subject to the cancellation policy of that party. The hotel may not modify or cancel any reservations made through a third party.
CREDIT CARD PRE-AUTHORIZATIONS AT CHECK-IN
We pre-authorize $75 per night for incidental charges. The authorizations are not charges, but they will show on your statement as “pending charges” and are not finalized until checkout, at which point all excess authorization is released. It typically takes 3-5 business days for the authorization to be removed from the account. We discourage the use of debit cards as funds pre-authorized on debit cards will make the funds inaccessible.
A valid credit card is required upon check-in. Reservations confirmed with an invalid credit card are subject to cancellation without notification.
