Additional Reservations/Extending a Stay

Arrivals and Departures

Early Arrivals: We cannot guarantee early arrival. Based on availability on the day of arrival, we will do our best to accommodate early check in requests. Guests may store luggage securely on site.
Late Arrivals: Our hotel has desk staff from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. and staff on property 24/7. However, our doors lock at 10:00 p.m. for security purposes. We only accept guests with reservations after this time. If you have a reservation and arrive after 10:00 p.m., you may use the call box near the entrance to call the staff on duty. They will come to the entrance to let you in for check in.
Late Departures: Late departures are not guaranteed. Based on availability, we will do our best to accommodate requests. Departures extended beyond 12:00 p.m. on the day of departure will incur an additional night's charge.

Authorizations
Debit and Credit cards will be authorized at check-in for the amount of your stay, plus an amount to cover incidentals. If your reservation has been prepaid, your card will be authorized for incidentals only. The authorization will hold the funds until check out, at which time the amount actually incurred during the stay will be charged.
An authorization is a temporary hold and reduces one’s credit card limit, but it is NOT a transaction charge and will NOT be reflected in one’s credit statement. Debit cards work the same way and will place a hold on funds, thereby reducing the amount in your connected bank account.
Authorized amounts may take up to 14 days after departure to be released by your bank or financial institution and the hotel is not be responsible for any resulting fees or charges.
Questions about the understanding of authorizations or when the amount will drop off should be directed to the bank associated with the card.

All reservations will outline the specific policy that is applicable to the rate selected.
