Information & Policies

How do I request an early check-in or late check-out?

Early check-in / late check-out 

Since hotel policies regarding early check-in (generally before 2:00 pm) or late checkout (generally after 12:00 pm) vary by location and by hotel, please call the hotel directly prior to your arrival to make any necessary arrangements. Direct hotel phone numbers can be found on your confirmation email or on the hotel information page.

What is your policy regarding cancellations?

Cancellation Policy 

If your travel plans change, you can cancel or modify your reservation in accordance with the hotel's cancellation policy as stated during the reservation process.

Will I be charged for extra guests occupying my room?

Extra Guests

Hotel room rates vary by date and by the number of adults occupying a single room. To accommodate more guests, you need to change your reservation. You will be notified of any additional charges prior to confirming your updated reservation.

Is there a minimum age requirement to reserve a room?

Minimum Age 

Although individual hotel policies may vary, most hotels have a minimum age requirement of 21 years old. Please call the hotel directly prior to your arrival to make any necessary arrangements. Direct hotel phone numbers can be found in your confirmation email or on the respective hotel information page.

Why does the Urban pre-authorize my credit card?

Pre-Authorizations 

Pre-authorization of your credit card is technically a "hold" on your credit card credit line from a purchase placed there by a merchant (such as any Urban Hotel Group hotel) who has initiated a charge, but not completely processed it. When the merchant finalizes the transaction process, the pre-authorization amount will be replaced by an actual charge to your card. Important points: Participating URBAN Hotel Group hotels only accept credit cards for pre-authorization. We swipe your credit card at check-in to ensure that sufficient funds are available to settle your final bill –- and we hold this amount throughout your stay. The amount we check for will depend on the length of your stay and which hotel you are residing at. The member of staff checking you in will explain this process clearly. No money is taken from your credit card, however, it will show as a pending transaction. The authorization of your card will last the length of your stay and it will take up to five days after your departure to be released. You can use a different card to pay your final bill. If you have any questions about pre-authorization, please inquire at the check-in area.

Can I reserve a cot or a crib in my room when I travel with children?

Can I cancel or change a reservation online?

Changes Online

You may modify or cancel a reservation online. Because all URBAN Hotel Group brands are connected to our central reservation system, you will have access to all of your reservations as well as your account history. Select ‘My bookings’ from the menu at the top of the website and then ‘Find your reservations,’ putting your name and the confirmation number you received when making your booking. You will then be able to modify, upgrade, or cancel your booking. However, you must create a guest account, designating a guest name and password, to view your reservation. Your account history will be viewable online within 24 hours after establishing a URBAN Hotels guest account.

What happens if my plans change and I forget to cancel or change my reservation?

Failure To Cancel or Change Reservations

Unfortunately, if you fail to cancel your reservation, you will be charged a minimum of one night's room charge and tax, billed to the credit card supplied during the reservation process. Cancellation policies vary by hotel, so you may also have additional liabilities as agreed to during the reservation confirmation process. Cancellation policies are displayed during the reservation confirmation process and are also listed in the confirmation email you receive upon confirming your reservation.

What if I arrive earlier or leave later than expected? Can I request an early check-in or late check-out?

Early Check-in/Late Check-out 

We'll do our best to accommodate your change in travel plans; however, policies regarding early check-in and late check-out vary by location and by hotel. Most URBAN Hotel Group hotels are prepared to accept guests at 2:00 p.m. or later and request checkout at 12 pm or earlier. Call the hotel directly prior to your arrival to request early check-in or late check-out.
