3. Reservations and rates
How a booking is made
Reservations from this website are taken through third-party reservation systems (Selfbook and Sabre SynXis). A reservation is confirmed when you receive a written confirmation with a reservation number. A rate shown on screen before that point is a quotation, not a contract.
Rates
- Rates are per room, per night, in US dollars, and are subject to availability.
- Unless stated otherwise, the rate shown [confirm: excludes / includes]state and local taxes, tourist and resort taxes, and any resort or facility fee.[confirm: exact fee amounts and how they are displayed. US price-transparency rules require the total price including mandatory fees to be shown up front]
- Rates can change at any time before a booking is confirmed. The rate on your written confirmation is the rate that applies.
Errors
We take care with the rates and descriptions on this site, but errors happen. If a rate is obviously wrong we may cancel the booking and refund you in full rather than honour it. We will tell you promptly if this occurs.
Deposits, cancellation, and no-shows
[confirm: this section must state the hotel’s real policy exactly as the booking engine enforces it: deposit or guarantee taken at booking, the cancellation deadline, the charge for cancelling late, the charge for not arriving, and how non-refundable rates differ. Do not publish this page until these match SynXis.]
Best rate when you book direct
We advertise a best rate guarantee for direct bookings.[confirm: the exact terms, i.e. which sites it is compared against, the time limit for a claim, what evidence is needed, and what the guest receives. A guarantee published without terms is enforceable as written.]
