Availability, Costs, Registration

Check-in is after 3 p.m. Reservations are held beyond 6 p.m. only if guaranteed by a credit card. Any non-guaranteed reservation will be canceled at 6 p.m. If the guest fails to cancel a guaranteed reservation by 6 p.m., the guest will be charged for one night's lodging. Be aware that when traveling over the International Dateline, your arrival time may be pushed into the next day. Check-out time is 11:00 a.m. Late checkouts are subject to additional charges.

If you are traveling with children and will arrive before check-in time, you or your sponsor may request reservations for the day before. This will allow your family to go directly into your room upon arrival. To guarantee an early check-in, you must reserve the room from the night before.
