Combination of Methods for Prepayment
Prepayment
Payment in full (fees plus any applicable deposit) must clear
within five days of placing a reservation, and before services begin.
The prepayment policies apply regardless of the method of reserving, including via online travel services that do not require payment to place reservations. Unlike wire transfers, bank-branch deposits, and Bitcoin—which can post the same day—please consider that the settlement of a payment via credit card requires three business days.

CVV and Billing Address
If you have submitted your credit card via a third-party reservation system for charging by us, the CVV (the three- or four-digit security code) and/or the billing address were probably omitted by the system. This omission is one of the reasons why we require the credit card form. The authorization form does not require you to re-enter your card number; please simply enter the last four digits.

Fees Prepaid to an Online Travel Agency
Such as Hotels.com™ or Expedia™
Some travel services collect all fees and taxes at the time of booking, particularly for online bundled packages with flights. If so, our unique structure (with, for example, pre-arrival services and the privacy of no front desk upon arrival) requires that the refundable retainer/deposit also be charged in advance. Regardless, please liaise with a concierge no later than the day of reserving. Upon placing your reservation, coordination with us is required for your reservation to be upheld.
