Journal: dated notes from the desk

Short pieces on specific situations, each dated so you can see how fresh it is. We update rather than rewrite, and say what changed.

I agree that Runway & Racetrack Stays may email or call me about this request, as described in the privacy notice.

Received. Our desk will check the hotel's availability and rate for your dates and reply by email, usually within one business day. Nothing is booked or charged until you confirm.

That did not go through. Check your name, email and the consent box — or write to [email protected].

The desk of this independent site takes the request, checks availability and price with the hotel's reservations team or a booking partner, and answers by email.
We never ask for a card number here, and a request is not a booking.
How we are paid: if this request turns into a confirmed stay, the hotel or the booking partner that completes it pays us a commission. It never costs you more.
