Is it safe to use my credit card?
Yes. We take this matter very seriously. To ensure your security, our network utilizes a secure commerce server, which encrypts the credit card number and encodes it into a non-usable form. | |

The card types accepted for guarantee/deposit will be listed in the Info section of the hotel description. | |
My credit card number is correct, but the hotel is not accepting it. Why?
There are a few possibilities:
- Your card type is not accepted at the hotel.
- The card expiration date precedes the reservation date.
- You have reached your credit limit.
- There is a computer error.

Can I specify where I would like my room located (preferred floor, next to pool, etc.)?

The hotel staff will do their best to accommodate special requests. We cannot guarantee that your requests will be granted because they are subject to availability. | |

What is the cancellation policy on my reservation?
When you are completing the Secure Lodging Reservation Form, the Cancellation Policy will be provided in red or there will be a link to read the cancellation policy. You can also view the property information page to find the cancellation policy. These policies will vary from lodging to lodging, so you must read each one carefully. In general, the standard increments are that you must cancel the room(s) by 4 or 6 PM on the arrival date, or 24, 48, or 72 hours prior to your specified arrival; however, these are just general guidelines and the specific policy of the property will prevail. If you cancel before the deadline, generally you will not be charged a penalty. Canceling after the stated period will result in a cancellation penalty fee. Some reservations are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled after booking.
If you need to cancel your reservation you may call us at 800-916-8592. If the cancellation is outside of the time allotted by the hotel, you may be charged for one night's stay including tax recovery charges and service fees. Hotels have individual cancellation policies however, if you cancel by phone, Hotels for Everyone does not charge a cancellation fee in addition to the hotel cancellation fee should there be one. In most cases, if you cancel in advance of the time allotted by the hotel there is no fee. Please read the specific cancellation policy provided for each property on the site and in any emails regarding your reservation.

What is a Vacation Rental?
A vacation rental is any suite-type lodging that has self-catering facilities (wet bar, refrigerator, microwave, etc.) Most vacation rentals have separate bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, one or more bathrooms, washer and dryer, and sometimes a balcony or patio. Towels and linens are provided. Daily maid service and other hotel conveniences are usually available.
Unlike hotels with per person pricing, there is a set price for an entire vacation rental with a maximum number of persons allowed. Most one-bedroom units sleep a maximum of four using a sleeper/sofa in the living room. Most two-bedroom vacation rentals sleep a maximum of six, and most three-bedroom vacation rentals sleep up to eight.
Please carefully read the vacation rental descriptions to learn the specifics of what is provided and how many people are allowed. | |
Where do I pick up my vacation rental keys?
The email you receive confirming your reservation for a Vacation rental will provide details as to where and when you should pick up the keys to your rental unit. | |

After submitting your reservation request, you will be provided with an email address to use to make inquires about your request.
