All bookings for Hot Rate (r Hotel) are final and cannot be cancelled or refunded. Here are the Hot Rate bookings. Hot Rates offers amazing hotel rates. We get these rates only because our hotel partners promise not to reveal their hotel’s name until the room has been booked. They don’t want anyone to find out that their rooms are selling at absurdly low rates. Everyone would like the same discount! The other thing is. The room we booked has already been paid for. We will not be reimbursed by the hotel for cancelled or changed bookings. Hotwire Terms of Use are accepted and confirmed by you. Your credit card will then be charged for the entire price.
You want to extend your vacation? You can book additional nights or a second room using the ” Add To Your Stay” feature.
