Is a deposit required at check-in, and is refund fast?

[Direct conclusion] Most hotels swipe pre-auth or take deposit, released after checkout check; pre-auth usually lifts same day; we remind keep receipts, and assist if odd. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Form: Common credit pre-auth or cash/scan deposit, amount by hotel. 2. Release: Normal checkout releases auth or refund after room check, auth mostly same day. 3. Proof: Keep receipts and auth SMS; we witness any dispute. 4. Odd: If overdue we push the desk or platform to refund. Note: Hotel standard follows the itinerary sheet, so request special needs early.
