I don't usually see phone numbers that begin with a plus, usually it's after they start. that website has regular US phone numbers on it for making reservations throug them, though,
Contact our 24/7 Customer Service Center
New reservations:
Please call 1-888-254-0637
Outside the US please call 00-800-84469370 1-210-507-5997
Give code 11466 when calling
Existing reservations:
Contact a Customer Service representative at 1-866-270-2849
If you're trying to use that website to find a hotel's phone number, I'd look elsewhere as a lot of those websites won't list the hotel's actual phone number, it is diverted to a reservations agent or something.

The + indicates the country code. The international access code is the 011 you dial from the US and Canada to call overseas.
For example, if it is a number in Germany, it would read +49 (0)30 295 7890. The (0) is dialled in-country only. If you're calling from the States, you'd dial 011-49-30-295-7890.

on a mobile phone you just enter the + and the country code and the number. for example, by entering a UK number as +44xxxx... in your mobile's number "book", it will work anywhere in the world without changing it. without the "+" you would have to enter the number twice...one as you would dial within the UK and the other for calling the number from outside the UK.

The "+" is an ITU convention of long standing which has become a standard.
It means that you have to add the international direct dialling (IDD) prefix in the country you are calling from to the front of the number.
The IDD prefix varies widely from country to country on a global basis, and in countries with competing Telcos, may vary from Telco to Telco.

The second reply by logos999 has already give the correct answer.
00 is the most common international access code in European countries. US or other parts of the world use different international access code. So if you see +, you replace it with the internaitonal access code of the counrtry where you are calling from.
