You need to give more details like what property and rough idea of dates and what type of rate you're picking. Typically hotel rates do not require advance payment or deposit. Rates that do are usually offering a discount in exchange, and may or may not also be nonrefundable.
Some properties that are in high demand, or have specific peak periods, may require deposits or full prepayment and may make rates nonrefundable due to those circumstances but it's not the norm.
You do still have to provide a credit card with bookings though.
