Cancellation Fees:
-Rooms can be cancelled up until 8 days prior to the arrival date for a $50 per person penalty. If cancelling the entire room within 7 days of the travel date, there will be a penalty equal to the cost of 2 night stay.
-If an individual is cancelling themselves out of a room, there will be a $50 penalty for that person. The room will then have to be changed to the accurate amount of people remaining in the room and will have to be ‘re-shopped’ at current rates, which can increase the price for those people in the room.

or
$50/person Deposit (for hotel only)- Due ASAP
prices are subject to change until all deposits from roommates are made. If adding insurance, the cost will be due at time of making your deposit.

Final Payment -- August 4th, 2023
*Keep in mind that if you cancel yourself from the trip after it has been booked, it can still potentially effect the other people in the reservation, even if you have travel insurance. When the number of people in a reservation is changed, the process is to cancel the existing reservation and rebook a new one at current pricing with the proper amount of guests. This could result in an increase in price.
If you would like to protect your deposit, I would highly suggest adding travel insurance. Penalty fees may apply if you cancel or change. Please click this link to fully understand potential penalties/fees.
