Reservation Confirmations, Deposit and Guarantee Policy
Most hotels accept all major credit cards. Confirmed reservations normally require a credit card guarantee or deposit. This will assure you of a room on the occasions requiring you to arrive late in the day. A guaranteed reservation holds the room all night. If requested, reservation confirmations will be sent to you. We request that you check the reservation confirmation carefully and report any changes to us immediately. A few hotels do require deposits, and those can usually be handled by credit cards.

Cancellations and Charges
Should it become necessary to change or cancel a confirmed reservation, it is imperative that it be done at the earliest possible moment. Each hotel has a strict cancellation policy which must be observed in order to avoid financial penalty. Cancellations must be received prior to the local time and date stated in the policy. Hotel policies differ; therefore, this should be verified at the time the reservation is placed. Cancellations should be made through the originating office or your travel agent as soon as possible. If a reservation has been "guaranteed", the person making the reservation is responsible for the proper cancellation notice and/or for the fee charged by the hotel in the event of a late cancellation or no-show.

Availability
Rooms at most hotels displayed in this Directory are available for booking and instant confirmation. Our global reservation and communications system provides up-to-the-minute information about accommodations and availability at each hotel. However, there are times during the year, such as a special city event, etc., when space is limited and rooms may be "on-request". Therefore, it is recommended that reservations be made as far in advance of arrival as possible.
