Hotel Room

You are guaranteed the room category for which you have booked and paid for however, sometimes hotels over-sell themselves. In this event, they will upgrade you complimentary to their next available room category. It is also very important to note that room requests such as king size beds, adjoining rooms and location of the room will be submitted to the hotel on your behalf but are NOT guaranteed. These are allocated by the hotel upon check-in. Any and all hotel-related issues MUST be addressed with hotel management directly at the time of their occurrence as most often we can not assist with resolving such matters after your return and after the occurrence and especially if you did not bring it to their attention at the time. They are best equipped to satisfy your needs while you are there.
