FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is the Group Code? How do I locate it?

ANS:
The Group Code will be provided to you and your roommate(s) in your personalized email confirmation. You will receive this confirmation once the 1st person in your room pays their deposit. Reuse this Group Code on the Additional Payments Form as you and your roommate(s) make additional payments.

Group codes are not affiliate names or groups of people traveling together.  It is a code WE assign each room.  You use your group code to make additional payments, when you check in, and when you want to reference your room when you contact us.

If you are a group and will be booking more than one room, and you want to request that your rooms are near each other, please provide the request on your registration form under Hotel Request.  You must provide all the group codes that want to be near each other, not individual names. Please only make the request if the rooms are in the same hotel.
