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.

ACTUAL RELEASE TIME
How long people waited for their money.
No approved report includes a measured release time yet. A published estimate is not the same as somebody getting their money back.
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.
