Default Missed a hotel reservation...

I was heading to Quebec City and I found his perfect hotel for a great price but didnt reserve it right away because I didnt have a card to put it on at the time.

Now its booked for the two possible days I needed it. Ugh...




Do they charge you right away or see if funds are available when they take a reservation?

Only if you guarantee the room and then they don't take the funds until you are a no show, or don't call and cancel the reservation.

BTW I used to be a department head in the Hotel industry.

I was looking at the Dominion 1912 in Quebec City. I opted for Le Concorde instead. Probably worked out better anyhow.


I stay up in Ahuntsic when I visit montreal... still have an apartment there. Its kinda far but worth it when free.
