A deposit equal to (1) one night’s stay is required to hold your reservation.  Your deposit will confirm your reservation and upon check-in, will be applied to the first night of your reserved stay.  Deposits are refundable if cancellations are received by 3:00 p.m. (hotel time) 24 hours prior to arrival and a cancellation number is obtained.

Check in time is 3:00 p.m., and check out is at 12:00 p.m. Anyone arriving earlier than 3:00 p.m. will be checked in as soon as a room(s) becomes available. Guests checking out early will be assessed an early departure fee of one night’s room & tax. Upon check in, guests will be asked to verify their departure date.
