with the properties directly. These rates are lower in most
cases than the normal rates you could receive by contacting
the property simply because of our buying power. To secure your
reservation, we require up-front payment with your credit card.
This ensures you have a room when you arrive so you are not
"bumped" or "overbooked."
Booking a room marked as a Special Internet Rate gives you both
savings and security. You can't beat that! |
