  • What is Shawnee's credit card policy?
    Debit and Credit cards will be authorized at check-in for the amount of your stay, plus an amount of $50 to cover incidentals. The authorization will hold the funds until check out, at which time the amount actually incurred during the stay will be charged. Authorized amounts may take up to 30 days after departure to be released by your bank or financial institution and the hotel will not be responsible for any resulting fees or charges. We recommend that guests do not use debit cards at check-in for authorization. The main reason is that in some cases you must have enough money in your account to cover the authorized room rates, taxes, and incidentals deposit. This authorization is placed on the card IN ADDITION to the ACTUAL CHARGE which makes the total temporary charges and what you are actually paying higher for a few days until the temporary charges are released. With a credit card, the incidentals deposit is merely a hold on your credit card. With a debit card, the hotel actually takes that money out of your account immediately. Once you check out, the hotel will put the funds back in your account, but it always takes the banks a few days, and sometimes as long as a week, to get that money back to you. So, if you must use a debit card, do so only if you have enough funds to cover your hotel stay, the deposits, and your general living expenses for a week after you leave the hotel. Credit cards also come with a lot more protection against fraud. With a debit card, anyone can clean out your savings, and there won’t be much recourse for you.
  • What is Shawnee's policy on any loss, damage, or theft of personal property?"
    The hotel is not responsible for loss, damage or theft of cash, jewelry or other valuables left unattended in guest rooms. Safe deposit boxes are available for the safekeeping of these items.
