HOTELS:
The term "hotel" also includes local classifications such as motel, inn, lodge, etc. All of the featured hotels offer rooms with a queen sized bed or two twin (double) beds.
Double or twin rooms may contain only one double bed. Customers requiring separate beds should specifically request this at time of booking. Separate beds are on request only and cannot be guaranteed. Triple and quad rooms usually contain two double beds.
At most hotels up to two children under 12 years of age are accommodated free of charge when sharing their parents' room, provided existing bedding is utilised. The age for children may be higher at some locations. Special rates are usually available when a 3rd or 4th adult shares a room. Rollaway beds can be requested at most hotels; the cost is usually $6-$10 plus tax per night. A crib (cot) is available at most locations at no charge although some hotels may charge up to $10 plus tax per night. Rollaway and crib charges are payable direct to the hotel at check-in.

Rooms have air conditioning, ensuite toilet facilities with bath/shower, telephone, TV and radio. Note: Some National Park and other lodges and some hotels in our voucher programmes may not include some of these facilities.

There is no official grading system for hotels in North America. We have based our classifications upon those published in the Official Hotel Guide and the experience of ourselves and our suppliers.

	Deluxe: outstanding hotel offering the highest standards of service, accommodation and facilities.
	Superior: moderate deluxe or superior first class hotel.
	First Class: hotel with dependable, comfortable accommodations, public areas and amenities.
	Moderate: moderate first class or superior tourist hotel with generally comfortable accommodation and public areas; may be lacking in some features (for example, restaurant)
	Tourist: budget property with generally well kept accommodation and public areas.
