Although guests are welcome to request a specific room number, we are never able to guarantee a specific room in advance due to potential unforeseen guest or maintenance issues. Room numbers are assigned at the time of check in and cannot be confirmed prior to arrival. If we are unable to accommodate a specifically requested room number and a guest wishes to cancel for that reason, s/he will be held to our cancellation policy.
A guest who wishes to cancel can do so without a charge up to 72 hours prior to arrival. Any cancellation made within 72 hours of arrival will be charged a $50 cancellation fee. A cancellation received on the day of arrival will be charged the first night's room and tax.
