Separate beds will then be placed “on request”, but cannot be guaranteed. Triple and quad rooms usually contain two beds, one of which may be a roll away. The occupancy of a room is defined by the number of paying adults and not by the actual bedding. Rollaway beds are usually available at an extra charge, payable directly to the hotel and cannot be guaranteed. Neither The Travel Hub nor the hotel will guarantee one bed per person in doubles, triples and quads.
Family Plan: The policy varies from hotel to hotel and is clearly indicated for each hotel. “NA” means a Family Plan is not available at that particular property.

Special requests:
Need to be clearly indicated at the time of booking. The Travel Hub will forward such requests to the hotel, but neither The Travel Hub nor the hotel can guarantee a request unless specifically confirmed in writing.

The Travel Hub is holding room blocks at most of the hotels. Rooming lists are electronically released to these suppliers prior to arrival (approx. one week or less). Should you or the passenger contact hotels directly for a reconfirmation prior to the release of the electronic rooming lists, your passenger’s name might not be on record yet.

Black-out and stop-sell periods can be added at any time, when hotels are in critical occupancy status. Only existing reservations will be honored and no new bookings accepted. Modifications such as name, date or length of stay changes may not be permitted and will be considered by the hotel as an automatic cancellation.
