I'm used the the Hilton website making it very clear when it is non refundable. Unfortuntaly this was only clear if I read the cancellation policy. I've booked hundreds of times so I don't read that stuff closely anymore.


edit: Looks like it is just a hotel policy. What the hell? Is there no brand standard here? If I book through hilton.com I expect normal policies and that includes easy cancellation unless it clearly says advance purchase.
This property seem to have earlier cancellation policies in general. In another booking of mine the cancellation policy is at least 72 hours before arrival.

Similar early cancellation deadlines I have seen at the newest HGI in NYC.

90 days sounds crazy though.
