(all the guest's info is already in the hotel system, the hotel is waiting for the guest to check in. If you are going to arrive in the hotel late, please call the hotel to keep your room, and you are on the way to the hotel.)

Difference between "Book by Credit Card" and "Book Not by Credit Card": 
* Book by Credit Card can guarantee the guest's room if the guest will check in later than 18:00, this is very important in the hotel peak seasons. If the guest does not check in the hotel without prior notice, the hotel will charge the guest's credit card for one night's fee.
* If it is not in the hotel peak seasons, Book Not by Credit Card may also guarantee the guest's room till 18:00 clock of the arrival date.
In both way the hotel will reserve the rooms for guests, if credit card is required by the hotel, we will notify the guest to provide credit card info to secure their rooms.
