About hotelSlots
hotelSlots.org is a day-use hotel booking platform that allows travelers to book hotel rooms by the hour. Our service is designed for layovers, remote work sessions, short stays between flights, event attendance, and other situations where a full overnight stay isn't necessary.
Our service model:
- Pay-Per-Request: $3.00 per day-use booking request
- Unlimited Subscription: $9.99/month for unlimited day-use requests
Important Notice Regarding Certain States
Please note: At this time, we are unable to process hotel booking requests from residents of or for travel to the following states:
- California (CA)
- Florida (FL)
- Hawaii (HI)
- Iowa (IA)
- Washington (WA)
This is because these states require travel sellers to obtain specific registrations and maintain certain financial assurances before offering travel services to their residents. We are committed to compliance with all applicable laws and are working toward obtaining the necessary registrations to serve these states in the future.

Why These States Are Blocked
The states listed above have enacted Seller of Travel laws that require:
- Registration with state authorities before offering travel services
- Maintenance of surety bonds or trust accounts
- Specific disclosures on websites and marketing materials
- Payment of registration fees and ongoing compliance costs
As a startup platform focused on serving day-use hotel guests nationwide, we have made the decision to temporarily block bookings from these states rather than risk non-compliance with their complex regulatory requirements. We are actively working toward obtaining the necessary registrations to serve these states in the future.
Trust Account Disclosure
River City Hotel Group maintains customer funds in accordance with applicable state laws. For states that require a trust account or surety bond, we will maintain such accounts once registration is obtained. Customer payments for travel services are held securely and used solely for the purpose of fulfilling travel arrangements.
Our Commitment to Compliance
River City Hotel Group is committed to operating in full compliance with all applicable travel seller regulations. We continuously monitor regulatory requirements in all states and will update this page as we obtain new registrations.
