Important Notice Regarding Debit Card Usage for Incidentals

 

​As a valued guest of the Orange Motel, we want to ensure full transparency regarding our incidental deposit policy, especially if you choose to use a debit card.

 

​A temporary authorization hold of $250 will be placed on your debit card at check-in. This is a common practice in the hotel industry to cover potential charges such as damages or incidental fees.

 

​Please be aware of the following:

 

  • ​Impact on Funds: This authorization directly reduces the available balance in your checking account.

 

  • ​Release Time: While we release our hold immediately upon your check-out, the time it takes for the funds to become available in your account is determined solely by your bank or financial institution.

 

  • ​Potential Delay: This process varies greatly by bank and could take up to 25 days after your departure.

 

​If immediate access to your full funds is essential, we strongly recommend using a major credit card for the incidental deposit. With a credit card, the hold affects your line of credit, not your cash funds, and is typically released much faster.

 

​If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please speak with our front desk staff.
