Any requests for special room arrangements must be made at this initial reservation. The Hotel will be included on the attendee mailing list to help anticipate when reservations are likely to begin arriving. The Hotel does not confirm reservations in writing and room types cannot be guaranteed, however the Hotel will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform PCA Guests if the type of room or, bed requested (such as a queen/queen to accommodate 4 people) is not available. As of March 12, 2015, all room nights which have not been reserved will be deemed to be room nights which PCA Guests will not use, and will be returned to the Hotel’s general inventory. Reservation requests from PCA Guests received after March 12, 2015 will be accepted on a space available basis, at the higher of the contract rate or the rate available at that time. GUEST ROOM CHARGES Each PCA Guest will pay for his/her own account upon departure. When each reservation is made by a PCA Guest, the Hotel will require payment of one room night and tax for such reservation. Upon check-in, each PCA Guest will be required to present a valid credit card, on which an amount of sufficient pre-authorization can be obtained to cover the room and tax charges for the length of such Guest’s stay, plus the anticipated use of the Hotel’s ancillary services. The PCA National Show Committee and Board will assist the Hotel in resolving any incidents occurring with a PCA Guest, including costs incurred by the Hotel to repair damage to a guest room for which a PCA Guest is responsible. HOSPITALITY ROOM: Food and beverages from the hospitality room may be taken into hotel rooms, but must not be taken onto the Ground Floor of the Hotel or Convention Center areas. Additional hospitality items may be available in the Convention Center areas. DOG SHOW RULES Pet Fee: A one time, non-refundable pet fee of $50.00 per guest room will be assessed at check in. $25 of this is refundable to the guest, the other $25 is non-refundable for cleaning.

The show committee will provide the front desk with PCA approved floor plastic sheets that will need to be handed out for guests to put under their crates in the guestrooms. The show committee will provide door signage that guests can hang outside their room to let housekeeping know there are dogs in their room. This does not mean that housekeeping cannot enter the room, however, this just to let hotel staff know there are dogs. If the guest is not in the room all dogs must be crated. The group is allowed to have X-pens in the room with the approved PCA provided floor protection. Bathing, Drying, Grooming: No dog bathing, drying or grooming facilities are provided in the convention center areas only ringside crating and ringside tables are permitted.
