When I stayed at RPR last year, I was charged a one night deposit within a couple of days of making the reservation. I had made the reservation through 1-800-BEASTAR. When I got to RPR, they took my credit card to charge me the for the rest of my stay.
This time around, I made the reservation through LoewsHotels.com. I still haven't been charged my one night deposit. I made the reservation last Friday. If they don't end up charging me a one night deposit, then I'll just pay for the entire stay when I get to RPR instead of the entire stay minus the one night deposit.
