Arrival & Departure
Check-in is available from 4:30 p.m. on the day of arrival (5 p.m. for guests who did not book directly with Les Hôtels JARO).

Policies
Why do I have to give my credit card number at the time of booking?
For non-prepaid stays, a $200 pre-authorization per room and per stay will be placed on the credit card used at the time of booking, within 72 hours prior to your arrival. For stays at Hôtel Must or Auberge Québec, the pre-authorization amount is $100 per room and per stay.
This pre-authorization is intended to validate the credit card and guarantee the reservation. No amount will be charged to your account unless applicable fees need to be billed in accordance with the terms and conditions of your reservation.
Should the credit card provided be declined or unable to support the pre-authorization, the property reserves the right to cancel the reservation.
Are prepaid credit cards accepted at the time of booking?
No. Prepaid credit cards are not accepted at the time of booking. However, prepaid credit cards are accepted for room payments, if made at the front desk of the hotel.
**Specific Condition for Auberge Québec**: We cannot accept a prepaid card or Debit/Credit card at this establishment. A valid credit card in the name of the person listed on the reservation must be presented in person at the time of check-in.
At your arrival, the total amount of your room will be withdrawn, either from your credit card, by Interac or must be paid in cash.
**Specific Condition for Auberge Québec**: We cannot accept a prepaid card or Debit/Credit card at this establishment. A valid credit card in the name of the person listed on the reservation must be presented in person at the time of check-in.
Why is a security deposit requested upon arrival?
The security deposit will primarily be used to cover parking, dining, telephone, and Internet charges, as well as any costs related to damage, alteration, or theft, if applicable.
How much is the security deposit?
This deposit is $200 for rooms, except at Auberge Québec and Hôtel MUST, where it is $100, and up to $500 for suites. It will be pre-authorized on your credit card within 72 hours prior to your arrival.
At the time of departure, the preauthorization will either be reversed or completed with the total amount of charges incurred during your stay.
***Please note that there is a delay of 5 to 10 business days for the reversal of any pre-authorization.
When the room is paid for by cash or Interac on arrival, the security deposit is returned to you on the original method of payment, in full or in part, depending on the service charges deducted, after an inspection of your room only. The amount of the security deposit varies according to the number of nights you stay and the type of room you reserve.
