Paying for hotel

Okay, so I have a room booked at the Boardwalk.

I am trying to figure out how to pay for it at the end of the trip. In the past I have only stayed at hotels for the weekend and have been able to simply charge it all to my credit card. This time however the total cost will exceed my limit. Is it possible to pay cash? Are there any other ways to pay? Any suggestions would be appreciated...

The hotel is going to be around $1500.00.

Hey, can't help with how except to save up, or maybe check to see if you can get a small short term loan liner acount from your bank or something.

Hey, just to let you know. I am only paying 160 a night for a double with bunks. Ask them for the internet rate when you call them to change the reservation. This is the price on the website. Unless you have a different type of room or something. Plus the 42 dollars for the 6 buck a day phone charge that they made me pay.

Thanks,

It's not that we don't have the money. We just don't know how to phisically pay them. How is everyone else paying?

We got quoted $195.00 a night. Which is 32.50 a head, which is what is on their website. Anyways, 195.00 a night for a week is 1365 plus tax and all the extra charges so around $1500.00

Again, it's not that we don't have the money, we just want to know what the best way to give them it is.

Hotel Payment

The Boardwalk accepts cash, check, money order & credit cards (all of them). When you check-in, you will be expected to pay for your room, taxes, phone fee & security deposit up front. If you are checking in on a Saturday expect to wait in line as you will be checking with about 2000 of your closest friends!

Yes, you can pay with as many forms as need. We get alot of guests that will pay with 6 different credit cards and that is fine. Try to have as much figured out in advance as possible. This will make it go pretty quick. The clerks will help you through the entire process.

Upon departure, your room will be inspected and once you are cleared for check-out, the front desk will refund your deposit.($200.00)

well, i got poolside, but the gulfside still says only 185.00
sorry for the misunderstanding
I payed with a credit card over the phone. I contacted the reservation 1 800 number and they contacted the hotel and finalized the payment to hold the room.
At first they canceled my reservation cause I was told 14 days to make deposit, then 7 days by 1 800, then 10 days by Boardwalk, so make sure you pay immediately or they will cancel it.

i'm assuming "canukparty" means your canadian.

if so i sugest a money order. that way your can get it now wile the doller is good and you don't have to worry about it costing even more in CAN$ when you get down there.

that's what we're doing. that way you also don't have to worry about people paying you back. just get the final amout with taxes dived it up, every one is responsibal for there own money order to give to the desk.

Since you have the cash, pay for half of it on your credit card now. Pay it off, and then put the other half of it on your credit card when you get there. Problem solved.
