Booking tips for families
Confirm bed configurations and maximum occupancy for the specific room type before booking — room names and listed bed types are exact identifiers (for example: Bunk Room, Room (Bunk), (City) Room, Suite (Arlo)).
If traveling with a pet, call ahead to verify pet-room availability. For late arrivals or special requests (cribs, rollaways), contact the front desk in advance; the property has a 24-hour front desk and concierge that can assist.
- Request rooms with twin beds or bunk options for children (Bunk Room, Room (Bunk)).
- Consider booking a larger room type or Suite (Arlo) if you need more space.
- Confirm any additional fees (Urban Fee, pet fees, security deposit) so there are no surprises at check-in.

| Verify pet availability | Call hotel or BookResorts agent |
| Confirm bed layout | Reservation desk or concierge |
