We charge a full day’s room and tax to the credit card used to guarantee the reservation if a cancellation occurs within this period. Nonrefundable rate reservations are not subject to cancellation policies and are nontransferable.

The amount for the entire stay is due at the time of the booking and is not refundable for any reason.

PARADES/STREET CLOSURES

Because of the diversity and grandeur of New York City, parades and other events will force the NYPD to close down certain streets in Midtown (usually on Sundays, with the exception of Thanksgiving for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on 6th Avenue). The hotel is not responsible for any effect a street closure may have on the agenda of one of our guests.

PARKING

The hotel has a partnership with a local garage that provides valet parking service for our guests. Self-parking is available throughout the city and prices vary per garage. There are a number of garages within a few blocks of the hotel. We do not recommend parking on the street, regardless of posted signage, as damage, theft, or parking tickets can occur at any time without notice. The hotel is not responsible for fines, loss, or damage to cars on the street or in the loading zone directly in front of the hotel. Currently, valet parking rates are $67 per night for a sedan, $77 per night for oversized vehicles such as SUVs, trucks, vans, or wagons. Rates are subject to change. This rate is based on a 24-hour period with no in and out privileges.

Cars exceeding the 24-hour period by more than one hour will be charged for a full night. Under normal circumstances, the hotel recommends allowing roughly half an hour to retrieve the vehicle for departure. The hotel and garage are not responsible for personal belongings left in the car or glove compartment. We recommend removing all valuables from the car when you arrive and ask that you leave only the key to the ignition. All claims for loss or damage must be made to the garage attendant at the time the car is returned. After guest departure, insurance regulation states that the hotel and garage assume no liability for loss of or damage to the guests’ property or vehicle.

PAYMENT POLICIES

Unless otherwise stated at the time of booking, payment must be guaranteed on arrival. A valid credit card is required and will be authorized for the full amount of the stay, plus taxes and an additional $100 per day to guarantee incidentals. While most authorizations release immediately upon departure, some credit or debit card authorizations may take up to 30 days to release depending on the issuing bank. The hotel is not responsible for any fees or inconvenience that may result. If you are experiencing an issue with a pending authorization, please contact the issuing bank by calling the number on the back of the card and feel free to contact the front desk if they require the hotel’s assistance in getting an approval released. We accept the following payment types: American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Diner’s Club, JCB, traveler's checks (USD), and bank transfer*.
