Best Flexible Rate

Booking via our website or hotel: “Best Flexible” reservations for any future arrival date can be changed or cancelled at no charge by 12 noon one day prior to the arrival date.

In the event of a late cancellation or a non-arrival, payment will be due for the first night and the remainder of the reservation will be cancelled. Unless alternative payment arrangements have been made, for flexible rate bookings guests are required to produce a valid credit or debit card at check-in which will be pre-authorised for the full room charges.
