This is arithmetic, not algorithmic astrology. Higher means more money tied up, fewer usable payment options, slower release, or worse evidence.

Room and taxes are estimates. An unknown deposit or selected pet charge makes the total unknown. “Plausibly yes” is not a reservation guarantee. Confirm before traveling.

Source and payment timing both matter.
Direct, third-party, prepaid, and pay-at-property observations stay separate. No path is assumed cheaper.

The record changed. We kept the old answer.
PETS & SERVICE ANIMALS
What bringing an animal may cost.
Service animals are exempt from pet fees and pet deposits.
A hotel’s no-pets rule, pet fee, pet deposit, and ordinary pet restrictions do not apply to a qualifying service animal under the ADA. A hotel may still charge for damage if it normally charges other guests for the same kind of damage.

$100 · card
Verified guest reported a $100 daily incidental/damage hold and said it was fully refunded on checkout day. Confidence: High. Caveats: Current master row and Booking.com policy list $300 per stay; $100 per day can equal $300 on a three-night stay but differs for other lengths.
Actual release: 0 days after checkout

$300 · bank card
Guest reported a $300 incidental hold placed June 9 that remained on the bank card after checkout; hotel replied that banks typically release holds within a few business days. Confidence: High. Caveats: The review does not establish the precise checkout date. Release delay may be at the bank rather than the hotel.

Confidence assigned during scrape: Medium. Location note: inferred from the source market or property title because structured location was absent from the scrape. Conflicts/caveats: None found.
