Rate Rules
Guarantee Policy
A CREDIT CARD NUMBER IS REQUIRED TO CONFIRM OR GUARANTEE YOUR RESERVATION
Cancellation Policy
CANCELLATION PERMITTED
- BEFORE 1800 DAY OF ARRIVAL
184.90 CAD CXL FEE
Tax Information
CURRENCY RATES QUOTED IN CAD - CA DOLLAR AND EXCLUDE TAXES
TAX 15.030 PCT PLUS 2.00/ROOM PER NIGHT


Does it actually mean I'll have to pay the first night $184.90 if I cancel? This seems inflexible since most other hotel chains allow cancellation for free until till 1800 day of arrival.
No, you don't pay the fee unless you fail to cancel before 1800. The wording is a bit unclear, but they're basically telling you...IF you fail to cancel by 1800, THEN this is the fee.
