Best Rate Guarantee

Are you looking for the best possible hotel room rates at Moonstone Hotel Properties? Good news, you've found them! Our best rates are always available on our hotel websites. 

We guarantee that every hotel reservation booked through one of our hotel's websites, will have the best rate publicly available online. If you find a lower rate available on another website (for the same room type, dates, rate payment requirements, and restrictions) we will match the lower rate you have found, and also give you a special gift for your effort. 

To claim our Best Rate Guarantee 

  • You must contact Moonstone Hotel Properties within 24 hours of booking your room, by completing the Best Rate Guarantee Claim Form at the bottom of this page. 
  • Upon verification of your claim, Moonstone Hotel Properties will honor that rate for the nights for which the lower rate was found. Rooms on the other website must be publicly available and bookable online at the time of verification. 

Here is how our Best Rate Guarantee works 

  • You make a reservation at a Moonstone Hotel for a two-night stay through our website, at $239 per night for example. 
  • Within 24 hours, you find a rate for that same hotel of $219 per night through another website for the same dates, room type, rate payment requirements and restrictions. 
  • You then complete the Best Rate Guarantee Claim Form at the bottom of this page. 
  • If we verify that your booking with us is confirmed and a lower rate is available via another website, we will honor that rate for the nights for which the lower rate was found, plus give you a special gift. 
  • Rooms on the other website must be publicly available and bookable online at the time of verification. 

This guarantee does not apply to 

  • Rates for Moonstone Hotel Properties on other websites that are $10 per night (or less) lower than the rates on our website 
  • Opaque or auction sites where the hotel brand and/or the specific hotel is not known until booking is finalized.
