Decoding CHOICE HOTELS *COMFORT
Unreviewed registry note: A descriptor reading CHOICE HOTELS *COMFORT on your credit card or bank account statement indicates a transaction from Choice Hotels International, Inc. This charge represents a Hotel room stay, pet fee, or incidental hold associated with one of the company's lodging properties. Choice Hotels operates brand flags across North America, including Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality Inn, Sleep Inn, Cambria Hotels, and Ascend Hotel Collection.
Unreviewed registry note: Billing amounts vary based on the nature of your stay. A charge around $108.00 or higher typically covers your room rate, local occupancy taxes, and mandatory parking or resort fees finalized when your room folio settles on departure morning. In other cases, a pending charge between $50.00 and $100.00 is a temporary front-desk pre-authorization hold for room incidentals. Properties place this hold during check-in to cover potential damages, room service, or late checkout, and banks normally release the funds within three to five business days after checkout.
Unreviewed registry note: If you do not recognize the charge, review your recent travel history or ask other authorized card users about weekend road trips and hotel bookings. You can inspect your itemized folio by signing into choicehotels.com or checking the email confirmation sent to the address used at reservation time. For questions regarding specific itemized charges, contact the front desk of the hotel location directly or reach out through choicehotels.com/support. If you did not travel and suspect your card number was stolen, contact your card issuer immediately to report unauthorized activity.
