Personal Travel Hotels that offer the contract rates for personal travel do so at their own discretion, based on availability. If they choose to offer these rates for personal travel only on certain days of the week or at certain times of the year, it is their option to do so. The contracted lodging facilities are not required to offer the contract rates for personal travel. If you are using a contract property for personal travel, confirm the rate with the hotel at the time you make your reservation and again when you check in. Guaranteeing Reservations Guarantee your reservation when necessary.
Hotels have time deadlines for holding a reservation.
Ask the hotel, or your travel agency, what the deadline for check-in is at the hotel you have selected. Guaranteeing the reservation means it will be held for you until midnight. You may guarantee the reservation by prepaying the first night s cost, giving a major credit care number, or by whatever other means the hotel requires. If you do not use your reservation or cancel before the arrival time, you will be charged for the room and are responsible for paying the charge. Don t venture into large parking lots or darkened areas on hotel grounds.
