Unlike many other hotel reservation services, HotelGuides charges no fees of any type.
We do not charge you a fee when you make a reservation.
We do not charge a fee when you cancel a reservation.
However, before you complete your reservation, please read the hotel's cancellation rules carefully. Look for Cancel Policy in the About Your Stay section of the reservation form.
Reading hotels' cancellation rules is important because these rules differ significantly from hotel to hotel, and changing or canceling some non-refundable reservations can cost you a lot of money.
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
