An authorizable credit card is required to secure reservations prior to arrival. At check-in, your card will be authorized for the total amount of your room rate, applicable incidentals (like parking, pet fee, etc), and a temporary $150 additional hold as a security authorization. At checkout, the exact amount on your receipt is settled and any excess authorization released (ie. the $150 security authorization). Authorizations typically take between 2 to 5 business days for your bank to settle, though it can take longer if the bank is an international bank or the card is a pre-loaded credit card (like Vanilla cards).
Debit and debit credit cards can be used at check-in. A payment for your room rate, applicable incidentals (like parking, pet fee, etc), and a $250 refundable damage deposit will be taken. At checkout, a hotel associate will verify no damage occurred and refund the additional $250 to your debit card. The card must be physically present and must be the same debit card used for initial payment.
