Note: Hotel front desk personnel may require proof of eligibility at the time of check-in. Discounts cannot be combined and are non-transferable. Discount programs may vary outside the United States. How do I find out what kind of accommodations a specific hotel has for the physically challenged?Choice Hotels brand franchises are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If there is not specific information listed on the Room Availability page for the physically challenged, please contact the hotel directly to obtain information regarding their accommodations. What happens if my plans change and I forget to change or cancel my reservations? Will I be charged?Since you guaranteed your room for arrival using your credit card, you will be billed a minimum of one night's stay if you do not cancel your reservation prior to the cancellation deadline. Since cancellation policies vary from hotel to hotel, you may have additional liabilities. Please be sure to note the cancellation policy when making reservations online. This information is originally displayed once you have selected a room to reserve and will also be included once your reservation has been confirmed. If you do not understand a hotel's cancellation policy or need further clarification, please e-mail us or contact our Reservations Center. What happens to my credit card information when I reserve online? Is it secure?Yes! Choice Hotels International's online reservations system is secure and your guest information (including credit card) will be encrypted as it passes over the internet. You will be switched to our secure server when personal information such as guest data or credit card numbers need to be transmitted. You can tell you are on our secure server when the address begins with "https" rather than "http". Also, a lock will display at the bottom of your browser window notifying you that the page is secure. For more information please see our Privacy & Security Policy page. Can I find more information about a specific brand of Choice Hotel?Yes, we list specific brand information here. How old do I have to be to reserve a room?It depends. If there is only one guest in a room, most hotels require you to be a minimum of 19 years of age. However, some Choice hotels require you to be age 21 or older (this information can be found in the "Hotel Details" section on the hotels home page within choicehotels.com). When a reservation is for two or more guests, at least one occupant must be 21 years of age or older if any other occupant staying in that room is age 18 or under. If there is any question about an age restriction it is suggested you call the hotel directly. How do I find more information about a specific hotel?This information is available from each hotel's "eBrochure" page. From choicehotels.com, enter the city name.

Any visitor to choicehotels.com may create a profile. Choice Privileges members may also view their point balance and most recent stays online. Why am I having trouble signing in?
If you are still unable to access your online profile, please e-mail us or call the Choice Service Center. I am a travel agent: do I need an online profile?Yes, Travel agents should continue to log in using their IATA number when visiting the site to book reservations on behalf of their clients. You must enter the IATA number by accessing the "Travel Professionals" tab. Travel agents wishing to book their own personal reservations may create a personal profile by accessing the ""Create a Profile"" button from the upper left-hand side of any page on the site. Your IATA number may not be used in the creation of this profile. Travel agents may only log in using either their IATA number or sign in to their personalized travel profile at any given time, but may not log into both simultaneously. What does "Remember Me" mean?"Remember Me" is an option available on the Sign In page. If the "Remember Me" box is checked, your User Name will be remembered on this computer for faster sign in. You will still need to provide your Password when you sign in. Your "Remember Me" preference remains intact until you return to the Sign In page and change your preference by checking or unchecking the "Remember Me" checkbox. You may choose not to use "Remember Me" if you share your computer with others or access the Internet on a public computer. Even though your password will never be visible to anyone else, others who use the same computer would be able to view your User Name. How can I update my profile information?Select the "Sign In" button from the upper left-hand side of any page on the site. Enter your User Name and Password.

If I use my discount code when making a reservation, does my Choice Privileges number still apply to the reservation? Yes, both can be used in conjunction with one another. I found a lower rate on a website but it can't be reserved online; I have to call their number to make the reservation.
