Reservation Policies

  • All reservations must be guaranteed by a major credit card; the card will not be charged in advance of arrival.

  • Cancellations may be made without penalty up to 48 hours prior to your scheduled arrival. Cancellations within 48 hours will be charged one night’s room and tax.

  • Guests who fail to check in on their scheduled arrival date will also be charged one night’s room and tax.

  • If payment arrangements are not secured upon check-in, the hotel will lock the room until confirmation is provided at the front desk.

  • If you are traveling with a group and a youth attendee will occupy a room alone, please ensure billing arrangements are finalized in advance to avoid on-site issues.

Government Rate

A limited number of rooms are available each night at the federal per diem rate. Federal government, military, or state employees requiring this rate must call the hotel directly at 301-965-2000. A valid government ID is required at check-in.

Important Note

Registration is not required before reserving a room; however, CADCA will cross-check hotel reservations against registered attendees. Room reservations may be canceled if you are not registered for the CADCA Annual National Leadership Forum by December 19, 2025.
