Do I pay anything to reserve a founding rate?
No. Reserving a founding rate is free and nothing is charged before opening. A reservation holds the rate; it is not an active membership. Activation, billing and cancellation terms will be published before any membership is charged.
Will I get marketing emails if I reserve?
Only if you choose to. Marketing consent is a separate, optional, unchecked box on the reservation form, and you can change your choice at any time. See the Privacy Notice for details.
What are the hours?
