According to agreement, the hotel may charge a prepayment of 60% of the total amount due. The prepayment is to be considered as a partial payment for the agreed upon amount. The hotel may also ask for a credit card guarantee rather than a prepayment. A prepayment is due within 30 days after receipt of the reservation confirmation; to be paid no later than 4 weeks prior to the arrival date. Should the reservation be made short-term, the hotel will ask for a credit card guarantee for the total amount reserved.
