At any point during the reservation process, you may click the **x** button in the top left of the Reservation Pane to cancel your current reservation.  It will not be added to the calendars, and any information added will be discarded.

If you find yourself using particular rooms often, you can denote rooms as favorites allowing you to locate them more quickly in searches without the need to search the whole list of available rooms.  This places them in your Favorite Rooms list for use

To select favorite rooms:

2. In the drop down, click on **My Account.**
3. In User Options, select the **Favorite Rooms** tab.
4. Use the Search field to locate the rooms you would like to favorite.  You can also filter rooms to narrow your search.
5. Select a room from the list to add it to your favorites

Rooms that have been denoted as a favorite can be used to filter search results when going through the reservation process.
