FAQ

What time is check in/ check out? Is there early check in/ late check out available?

Guest may check in any time after 4:00 pm, however they may process the check-in upon arrival and store luggage at the front desk until the room is ready.  Rooms are guaranteed to be ready any time after 4:00 pm.  Check out is at 11:00 am.  For a nominal fee of $30 + tax guests may check in early at 12:00 pm or check out later at 2:00 pm, but this would be based on availability.

Do you charge at the time of booking?

Reservations will be charged upon check-in unless otherwise noted. If your reservation is booked through a third party, payments must abide by their policy. All reservations require a guarantee by credit card with valid expiration date and EMV chip. The name on the credit card must match your government issued identification at check-in and cover the full room and tax amount + incidentals.

What is your cancellation policy?

Room reservations must be cancelled 24 hours prior to scheduled check-in time of 4:00 pm to avoid a cancellation fee of the first night’s room & tax, unless booking a non-refundable reservation/rate plan, in which case, the reservation is non-refundable and may not be modified. If your reservation is booked through a third party, cancellations must abide by their policy. 

Is a credit card required upon check-in?

A credit or debit card is required upon check-in.  If the guest is paying with a credit card, that card must be present at check-in.  If the guest is not the cardholder, a credit card authorization form must be filled out in advance.  In addition, valid picture identification is required with the same name as the credit card and reservation.

How much do you hold at the time of check in?

At check-in, a physical credit card with an EMV chip is required to cover a $30 hold per stay for an incidentals deposit. Cash is not an accepted form of payment. The deposit is released at midnight after the check-out date and typically takes 3-10 business days to reflect in your bank account.
