If you do not have the credit card in your possession, you will need to fill out a hotel credit card authorization form ahead of your arrival. Send an email to the MAX Housing Team at adobemax@gpjreg.com for help with this requirement.

Reservations must be canceled at least 72 hours before your scheduled check-in date to avoid a penalty equal to one night's room and tax. If the hotel policy is to charge a first night's room deposit, your credit card will be refunded if you cancel at least 72 hours before your check-in date. If you cancel within the 72-hour period, your room deposit will be forfeited.

Failure to show up on your scheduled arrival date

If you do not cancel your hotel reservation and you do not check in on the scheduled arrival date, you will be charged for one night plus tax to the credit card on file. If a room deposit was charged, the amount will be forfeited.

Checking in and out

All hotels have a check-in time of 3pm and a check-out time of noon.

Taxes

Each hotel has an occupancy tax that will be added to the reservation rate per room per night. For specific rates, refer to each individual hotel.

All city and state taxes are subject to change at any time.

Hotel airport shuttles

Transportation from any of the Southern California airports, such as Los Angeles International Airport, Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Ontario International Airport, or Long Beach Airport, is at each individual's expense and is not included in the MAX conference registration fees. None of the designated MAX 2013 hotels provides airport shuttle transportation to or from these airports.
