Rates & Policies
3 questions
How does the ‘Go Green’ incentive work?
To qualify for our Go Green incentive, your stay must be two nights or more. If you do not require housekeeping and wish to participate in the incentive, please let the front desk know the day before. For each day that you do not have housekeeping, we will refund you $10 upon check-out.
How does the security deposit work?
The security deposit is a preauthorization, meaning it is a temporary hold on the funds rather than an actual charge. It will appear on your account as a pending transaction only. Upon checkout, all preauthorized deposits are released by the hotel. For domestic credit cards, it typically takes 3–5 business days for the pending hold to be removed, while international cards may take up to 14 business days, depending on the issuing bank’s processing time. Since the funds were never charged, you will not see a refund transaction on your account.
Is the hotel pet-friendly?
No, the hotel is not pet-friendly, with the only exception being service animals.
