Checking Into Your Accommodation

Check-in and Check-out times
In general, check-in time is normally 1500 hours and check-out time is normally 1000 hours. Whilst hotels will do everything possible to accommodate early arrivals, if you wish to be guaranteed immediate access to your room upon arriving before 1500 hours you will need to pre-book, and pay for the previous night. Similarly, if you wish to guarantee a late check-out you will need to book for the next night.

Please indicate this at the time of making your booking during the registration process. Alternatively, if you have already made your accommodation booking you can request this additional night by advising the Conference Managers in writing rsa2012@arinex.com.au

Hotel Check-in Procedures
As per standard hotel policies and procedures attendees will be required to provide a credit card or full cash payment upon check in. This is to cover any incidental charges that may be incurred during your stay and all remaining unpaid room nights.

The hotel will hold on your credit card, until point of check-out, an amount which covers all unpaid accommodation nights reserved plus a daily amount for incidental charges. Any monies still being held on your credit card by the hotel, once you have settled your account and checked out will be released.

If you will be settling your accommodation account by cash you will be asked to pre-pay for your accommodation in full when you check-in plus a cash deposit to cover incidentals that may be incurred during your stay. Should you not utilise any incidentals during your stay the cash deposit, for incidentals only, will be refunded to you by the hotel upon check-out.

Please note the daily incidental charge may vary across the listed hotels.

Late Arrivals
Please indicate on your registration form or notify the Conference Managers in writing if you will arrive at your hotel after 1800 hours as failure to do so may mean that your room will be released.

Deposits are non-refundable at 7 May 2012 and will be forfeited if you either cancel your accommodation on or after 7 May 2012 or you do not arrive on the date you are booked to check in. Cancellations must be made in writing to the Conference Managers.

For all bookings that have been paid in full, please note if you do not arrive at the hotel on the date you are booked to check in, the hotel will hold the room for each paid night andall monies will be retained by the hotel.
