Dorms: (if reserving more than 5 beds in the dorms, see dorm group reservation policy below)

Dorm group policy (more than 5 people in group) There's a nonrefundable $5/person/night deposit which will not increase your cost here but will not be refunded if you cancel more than 5 people from your reservation at any time. The above cancellation charges will apply as well.
