When a change or cancellation is made there are a number of administrative tasks that follow in order to assure the request is handled properly.  Most importantly, is the verification of the hotels list of reservations.  The list is manually reviewed for accuracy and corrected with the hotel. This process must be repeated each time a reservation is changed or cancelled. Hotel systems are not flexible enough to confirm only changed and cancelled reservations, making this a very time consuming process. While hotels have been instructed not to take cancellations/changes some do, which puts you at risk of having your reservation changed back to match what we have in our system. Since you have elected to use the housing system, we have an obligation to you to make sure your reservation matches our system. Therefore, fees are applicable regardless if you call the hotel directly, make them online or call us.

Additional hotel penalties may apply for cancellations 72 hours prior to your arrival date, early departures, and "No Shows." Verification of these charges directly with the hotel is recommended.
