Hotel Confirmations/Deposits

All hotel reservations must be guaranteed by a major credit card or by check made payable to the hotel. A deposit amount of two nights’ room rate (plus tax) will be charged on your credit card if you do not cancel five days prior to your arrival date.

If you plan to guarantee your hotel reservation by check, please be sure to indicate that on your Hotel Reservation Form. The check must be made payable to the hotel and received by the ASH Housing Center by November 7. If the ASH Housing Center does not receive the check by November 7, your hotel reservation will be cancelled.

The ASH Housing Center will mail, fax, or e-mail a confirmation in response to every reservation requested. If you make a hotel reservation online, you will receive a confirmation instantly, and if you make a hotel reservation by fax or mail, a written confirmation will be sent to you by mail, fax, or e-mail within five business days of receipt. If you do not receive your confirmation, please call the ASH Housing Center to verify that your request has been received.

ASH Cancellation/Change Policy

You may cancel or make changes to your housing reservation either in writing or online until midnight (EST) Friday, November 9, 2007. Written requests should be sent to the ASH Housing Center and will be acknowledged with a confirmation as soon as possible or within five business days. After this date, all changes to accommodations must be made directly through your hotel. Between November 9 and November 15, housing records will be transferred from the ASH Housing Center to the individual hotels; therefore, attendees are strongly encouraged to wait until after November 15, to contact their hotels to make changes or cancellations.

To cancel or change a housing reservation online, you will need your confirmation number and the e-mail address you used to make your reservation. Online requests are acknowledged with an immediate e-mail confirmation.

A cancellation must be made at least five days prior to your scheduled arrival date or you will be assessed a cancellation fee equivalent to two nights’ room rate (plus tax). The hotel will not hold your room if you do not arrive on the first night of your reservation, and you will lose your deposit.

This housing cancellation policy will be strictly enforced. Please retain the cancellation confirmation from the ASH Housing Center or the cancellation number provided to you by the hotel, as this proof of cancellation will be required to resolve any credit card disputes.

Group Room Reservations

A group room reservation is defined as 15 rooms or more.

• All requests for group room blocks must be received at the ASH Housing Center by September 10.
• The ASH Housing Center will provide a Web site for all groups to manage their own room blocks and rooming lists online. A Group Booking Agreement, which includes a password, will be sent to each group contact after the group room reservations are approved by ASH.
• After September 14, the ASH Housing Center will cancel any group room reservations for which it has not received a rooming list and full payment. Any rooms not accounted for on the rooming list will automatically be released.
• Cancellations must also be made by September 14. Any cancellations after September 14 will result in forfeiture of the entire payment.
• The rules and regulations governing group room reservations are explicitly detailed on the Group Room Reservation Form. Please contact the ASH Housing Center at 888-273-5704 (U.S. and Canada toll-free number) or 703-449-6418 (international) to request a Group Room Reservation Form and additional instructions.
