Hotel Policies

At the time of booking, we require a one-night room and tax deposit in order to confirm your reservation. The remaining balance will be charged on the morning of your arrival.

During peak periods, the deposit will be equal to 50% of the entire stay.

If you choose to use a debit card to guarantee and pay for your stay, your bank will automatically hold the funds. We have no control when the funds will be released back to your account. Please check with your bank directly for further information.

Guaranteed Check In Time is 3 P.M.

Check Out time is 11 A.M.

Cancellations must be made 72 hours (3 days) prior to arrival to avoid a one-night room and tax charge to the payment method on file.

During peak periods, cancellations must be made 30 days prior to arrival to avoid a 50% charge of the entire stay to the payment method on file.

Please note that a change in the length or dates of your reservation may result in a rate change or additional fees.
