Are there any instant rewards or a loyalty program attached to this?

When do I pay for my stay?  

Full payment will be taken at check-in or check-out depending on the hotels’ individual payment policy.

Can I get a better deal if I stay more frequently?

For companies and businesses that stay more 50 nights across our group in a calendar year, you may qualify for negotiated corporate rates at some or all of our properties. Please contact our National Sales Team for more information.

Can I make a booking through my travel agent or in the GDS?

No, this is just for those who do not have a travel agent, or who want to book direct with us. Our rates are non-commissionable and will not be available for sale through the GDS (what travel agents use to book flights/hotels etc).

Is there a penalty for cancelling my booking?

You can cancel bookings free of charge if we receive the cancellation request no later than 4pm the day you’re due to arrive. If you cancel after this (or do not show), a cancellation penalty the equivalent of the first nights accommodation cost for each room booked will apply.
