I have multiple units reserved for an upcoming family gathering and tried adding my brother's names to the reservations in case they beat me to the check-in desk. I was informed that should they check-in before I do ... they will be required to put down a $100 deposit on their debit or credit card. I hadn't encountered this policy and was both surprised and disappointed.
How do you all feel about this policy?
[RANT]As for me, I will dispatch my husband to check-in promptly at 4PM and warned my brothers to not arrive early. I will also be sure to remember this as "one reason to avoid inviting guests to share our units in the future." Sorry to be extreme -- but I don't like setting limits of, "please don't arrive before we do or else ..." Hardly family friendly. On the bright side, I have one more reason to not increase our point holdings. On the downside, that is yet another car traveling to the destination as I can't possibly be there at 4p.
