Cash may only be used as an alternative form of payment at check-out. A credit card will still be required at check in and will be authorized for the full amount of the stay even if the reservation is to be settled in cash at check out.

How Your Credit Card Will Be Used

Non-refundable rate plans will be charged for the stay at the time of the booking.
Advance deposits may be required on some rate plans at the time of booking. The amount of the deposit will be equivalent to one night’s room charge exclusive of tax and may be subject to use as cancellation or no-show fee.
We require sufficient funding on your credit card to cover room and tax charges and incidental charge deposit.
Flexible Cancellation rate plans will be authorized for the full stay one day prior to arrival.
Reservations with credit cards failing the authorization process will be cancelled without further notification. A courtesy telephone call may be made for reservation recovery if there is adequate time and information to do so.
A $250 damage/incidental deposit may be added to the authorization limit of the credit card at the discretion of management.
Room Charges for incidentals such as long distance telephone calls or pay-per-view movies may result in additional funds being held on the credit card to preserve an adequate damage deposit.
Release of un-used authorized charge limit will occur when the account is settled at check-out.
Refund of advance deposit will occur on the same day a valid cancellation request is received only if the request is within the allotted cancellation window, otherwise it will be used as a cancellation fee.

How your Bank handles transactions

Each banking institution is different and their transaction and funds release policies and are beyond our control. We will be glad to assist with expediting the release of unused funds after you check out.
Debit cards used as a method of payment behave differently than credit cards. You can expect an authorization limit to show as a pending charge against your available balance. We do not recommend using debit cards for guaranteeing reservations, or as a method of payment at check-in. Debit cards work best when used to settle an account at check-out.
