Perks & Packages

the fine print
Prices are either per person or per room and may be based on single, double, or quadruple occupancy (look for details under "When"). Packages are subject to availability and may be blacked out on holidays. Ask when booking whether gratuities and taxes are covered in the listed price. Where airfare is included, rates are generally based on midweek travel.
