A: Our rates come directly from hotels. Hotels provide special rates for travelers that care about our environment. By reducing their carbon footprint, green travelers assist hotels to reduce their costs too. There are also special rates for seniors as well as members of AAA, CAA, AARP, CARP, government, business, and the army, valid upon presentation of the ID at check-in.
We want you to always pay the lowest price for your stay. After booking through our website, should you find the same accommodation with the same reservation conditions at a lower rate bookable online, we will match the difference between our rate and the lower rate and offer a room upgrade upon hotel availability!
Conditions are as follows: You contact us immediately after booking with the entire details of the other offer you have found including the total price, the room and the rate conditions, and a link to the offer on the website; The other offer is subject to identical booking conditions: same property; property known before booking, same room type; same meal plan; same cancellation policy; same check-in and check-out dates; same package offer, etc.; The other offer is still available when we check; Your booking conditions still allow penalty-free cancellations and modifications; The other offer is not a rewards program or a special promotion made available by the property itself; a frequent flyer, special membership or loyalty points rate.
A: It may happen occasionally when you book on very short notice and the hotel’s property management system is not fully integrated with its reservation system. In this case, the hotel’s reservation team may not have enough time to enter your booking details into the hotel property management system.
Kindly require the front desk team to search into their central reservation system. They will have to select all channels and enter the booking reference you have received in your confirmation letter.
For example:
SynXis booking reference: 17944SB007888 (this hotel uses SynXis for the reservation)
TravelClick booking reference: 436588834 (this hotel uses TravelClick for the reservation)
If you have any special requests or preferences for your stay, such as room type or location, inform the hotel in advance so they can accommodate your needs.
By following these steps, you can help ensure that the hotel can provide you with a smooth and enjoyable stay.
A: If you can’t find your reservation confirmation email, please check your junk or spam folders.
For Hotmail and AOL users, the security settings can occasionally prevent the confirmation email from reaching you. If possible, please use an alternative email address.
If you cannot find your confirmation email in any of the folders, please sign in with your reservation confirmation number and email address.
A: Payment details are securely transmitted to the hotel to guarantee the reservation. Your card will be not be charged by the hotel unless otherwise stated in the rate or for a pre-authorisation.
If your payment details are not valid, the hotel will contact you to guarantee your reservation.
A: No, the hotel will only charge you at the hotel otherwise stated in the hotel policy, the deposit policy or the rate policy. Please note that the hotel reserves the right to pre-authorise your credit card prior to arrival for busy dates to avoid the loss of a late cancellation fee by pre-authorising the cancellation amount for the first-night stay.
Bookings made using a debit card may find, that the pre-authorisation results in funds being deducted from your account. Some banks cannot set your funds into a “hold” status and automatically process the pre-authorisation as a debit.
A pre-authorisation is not a charge when booking with a credit card. It is simply the practice of having the ability to charge in the future by locking funds. The hotel has not received any payment but has locked the funds equivalent to the first night of stay.
In the event of cancellation of a booking prior to the hotel’s notice period, pre-authorisations will be released. This process can take between 3-21 days, dependent upon the hotel. Any concerns with the release of this pre-authorisation should be addressed with the property directly via the contact details on your booking confirmation.
A: Most of the hotels will propose comparable hotels and offer you compensation accordingly. The hotel has to accommodate you or propose a solution that satisfies you.
If a hotel knows about an overbooking problem in advance, they will probably ‘protect’ the overbooked guests by arranging alternate rooms at some other nearby hotel and then ‘walk’ them to a comparable hotel when they check-in, and will have this all in place for when you arrive. Such an arrangement might include providing a taxi fare to get to the next hotel, or maybe a free meal or something as well, and if you’re lucky, a room upgrade or a nicer hotel than the one that couldn’t accommodate you.
They’ll also traditionally allow you to make a free long-distance call to tell someone that you’re not in the hotel you said you’d be in, but these days, we all have cell phones with effectively free and unlimited calling, so who cares about that anymore.
Sometimes the hotel will not have alternative accommodation already arranged, particularly if it is late at night and they’ve decided you’re simply not going to turn up, and particularly if there is a shortage of other rooms at other hotels, making it hard for them to hold rooms elsewhere ‘just in case you do arrive. But that is their problem, not yours, and if you have a guaranteed reservation, then you absolutely should not feel apologetic at checking in ‘late’ because there’s no such thing as ‘late’ for that type of reservation.
