​
*Debit Cards are not recommended since the hotel immediately places a pre- authorization for incidentals upon check-in ($100.00). The amount held is based on hotel policy and anything unused is released at checkout. Release timelines may vary by bank and can take up to 5 business days. Check with your financial institution for their policy on funds being returned to your account. If the first $100 is used prior to checkout, another $100 will be held. To avoid holds, the hotel recommends using your debit card only for room and tax. Tell the front desk that you will not charge any incidental fees to your room.
