No Walk Clause - (If hotel finds itself in an overbooked situation the hotel will notify meeting planner first before communicating this to guests). Will walk your group room block last. Must walk all other groups and transient guests first.

A "no walk" clause is a protective provision in a hotel contract, typically used by meeting planners or large groups, that prevents the hotel from "bumping" or "walking" guests to another property if the hotel becomes overbooked. In standard hotel operations, if a hotel is oversold, they may send a guest to a nearby competitor (paying for their first night and transport); however, a "no walk" clause specifies that members of your specific group cannot be relocated under any circumstances. This is particularly vital for corporate events or weddings where it is essential that all attendees remain on-site for networking or logistical reasons. If the hotel does breach this clause, the contract usually mandates significant penalties, such as the hotel paying for the guest’s entire stay at a higher-tier property, providing multiple complimentary future nights, or paying a substantial liquid damage fee to the group organizer. For a regular individual traveler, such a clause doesn't usually exist, but for organized groups, it is a non-negotiable tool to ensure that the hotel prioritizes their block over "one-off" transient guests during busy periods.
