FAQ
What is required to guarantee my reservation?
To guarantee your reservation, the hotel requires a one-night room and tax deposit at the time of booking and a valid credit card number on your reservation. The reservations process is handled on a secure server that encrypts your credit card information. For more information about making or changing a reservation, please contact our reservations department at 518-619-4000 or email info@saranacwaterfrontlodge.com
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation policies may also vary by rate, package, or promotion. Please check the cancellation policy attached to the rate at the time of booking. For more details about any exclusions or requirements, please contact our reservations department at 518-619-4000 or email info@saranacwaterfrontlodge.com
Will my credit card be charged if I don't cancel and don't show up?
Yes. Reservations are automatically guaranteed to your credit card. No-show reservations will forfeit their first-night deposit plus taxes. No-shows during peak time or for a non-cancellable/non-refundable rate such as the Book Early & Save promotion will forfeit the full deposit. To avoid being charged, reservations must be canceled in accordance with the cancellation policy outlined by the hotel for the rate and dates booked.
Can I check out early for free?
Your room rate is quoted based on the booked check-in date and length of stay. Should you choose to depart early, your room rate is subject to change and you may be charged a cancellation night penalty.
Do you take a deposit at check-in?
In addition to room and tax charges, a security hold will be placed on your credit card at the time of check-in. This hold includes an estimate for incidental charges and any additional extra charges spent by you at the hotel during your stay. The daily incidental charge estimate is $70 placed on arrival. Please note that this hold, if not spent, will be released by the hotel upon check-out. Your credit card issuer will then release any amount, not charged by the hotel, usually within 3 to 7 business days from your check-out date.
