Why does booking my hotel require a one-night, non-refundable deposit?

NSPRA National Seminar attendance has grown significantly in recent years, but the demand for rooms in the main Seminar hotel can surpass actual conference registrations. To increase registered attendees' ability to reserve a room within NSPRA's main hotel block, a one-night, non-refundable deposit will be applied to the credit card used at the time of booking. This requirement is meant to help as many registered attendees as possible stay at the main Seminar hotel. 

What happens to my one-night, non-refundable deposit if I need to cancel my room later?

The one-night room deposit is non-refundable and will not be returned if the room booking is cancelled. If you must cancel your booked room, though, please contact the hotel directly using information provided in the hotel's confirmation email to you. As detailed on the hotel's booking website, the cancellation policy is that, "A one (1) night non-refundable deposit is required to guarantee your reservation. Should you not be travelling with the credit card associated with your booking, please contact the Hilton Accounting & Finance Help Desk to establish an authorization no later than one (1) week prior to arrival. Phone: 1-855-274-1414  Email: usotchelpdesk@hilton.com  Hours of Operation: 8:00am - 6:00pm CST"

 What if the NSPRA room block at the host hotel sells out before I am able to reserve a room?

If the NSPRA room block at the host hotel sells out, additional room blocks at nearby properties will be announced and posted to this page.

What if I need to make changes to my hotel reservation?

Once you receive your hotel confirmation, you are free to connect with the hotel directly to make adjustments to your stay. Be sure to reference the hotel confirmation number when making adjustments.

Am I able to book my hotel via the Seminar room block before registering for the Seminar?

Yes. You may reserve your hotel room either before or after registering for the Seminar.

Will my credit card be charged at the time of booking?

Yes but only for the one-night, non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance will be charged upon your hotel stay. Please ensure you review the hotel's cancellation policy carefully.
