Best Rate Guarantee
Feel confident knowing that you will always get the best available rate when booking with The Lodging Company directly. We take pride in our rates and shop the competition regularly to ensure we are advertising the best price at all times. If you do encounter a lower rate for the exact same room type in the same property prior to, or within 24 hours of booking your stay, simply contact us with a link to the web page displaying the lower rate. If we can't match the advertised price including taxes, we'll refund your stay! We do not match against “direct from owner” properties. We appreciate your business!
