We have reservations at HRH in March which I reserved over the phone with the Loews 800 number using my credit card. However, they did not charge me any type of deposit. Of course, if we don't show up, I assume they will charge my credit card at least one night's lodging as most hotels do. However, I've read on these forums about people who said they were actually charged a deposit when they made their reservations for HRH. Does HRH typically require deposits when reservations are made? If so, why wouldn't they in my case? Is there an advantage to putting down a deposit versus just guaranteeing the reservation on your credit card?
