When you check in, we’ll place a hold on your credit card for incidentals — like minibar items or taking the blanket home with you — and ask to see your ID.

Guarantee Policy:

All reservations that are not fully pre paid will have a 1 night room & tax deposit collected within 24 hours of confirmation. This deposit is refundable if your reservation is cancelled before the cancellation policy of your reservation goes into effect. Please allow up to 5-10 day business days for the refund to be reflected on your credit card. If your reservation is not cancelled in time the deposit will be forfeited. If you fail to show up for your reservation the full amount of room & tax will be charged. We’ll ask you to verify the payment details upon check-in and an authorization will be secured on your credit card for the full balance of your stay plus additional monies for incidentals. A valid state or country issued ID must match the credit card you are using to cover your stay. We cannot accept a credit card under the name of a person not present unless it has been pre-arranged before arrival. Guest rooms will be held through the night for your arrival.
