Has anyone had any recent experience with Accor Hotels, particularly Novotel? I reserved a room next week Thursday at the Taoyuan Novotel, and I don't trust the pricing information that the website gives. The website says that the pricing information (defaults to USD) is for informational purposes only and that the charges would be billed based on the hotel's local currency. However, I know that this particular hotel offers the option of DCC, so I didn't want to get snared with DCC by prepaying the room. (I usually don't do prepaid rooms anyway since the flexibility is nice.)

My strategy here was to book the fully flexible room rate and use an AmEx Platinum (no FTF fee/possibility of DCC) to guarantee the reservation. Upon check-in I'll again use the AmEx Platinum for the room authorization hold. When I check out, I'll use my Chase Sapphire Preferred and request local currency. Thoughts on this process? Am I being overly paranoid?
