Why do you take a credit card pre authorisation on check-in?
Pre-authorisation is taken on arrival to guarantee payment in case guests depart without checking out at reception. We encourage guests to use the same credit card to pre-authorise and to settle their bill as failing to do so could delay the pre-authorisation being released by up to 14 days. If using a debit card, full pre-payment of the room rate plus deposit for each night will be taken at the beginning of your stay.
