  • From time to time, a room move may be required to accommodate you during your entire stay. On making your reservation, should this be the case, we will notify you immediately. At this point, no charges will apply should you wish to cancel your reservation.
  • We regret that requests for particular room numbers cannot be catered for on our online reservation system.
