Orbitz should really make fees more clear. They had a 39 dollar a day amenity fee (I guess the amenity must be the elevator since pool and spa areas were closed), and I got two separate invoices for them, so, double charged. Along same corporate “ethics”, they are not really “pet friendly”, since the charge for pets is 65 dollars a day (so it should be named “willing to make a buck off your pet too”, even though the pet area was closed for renovation and that charge also undisclosed before I paid. The agent when I told them I think it’s fair to pay 65 for one day instead of two because of the above reasons, was professional smug, and informed me that fees were standard and there wasn’t much he could do about it. Cherry on the pie was when I tried to pick my very nice car up with my daughter, bags and dog, in a hurry, from valet that I was paying 85 a day for, they had taken my car hostage, because front desk told them there was a billing issue, even though my rooms had been prepaid, and they had already taken my limitless credit card for fees and incidentals. So about 500 a day for 2 rooms, 700 in fees and parking for two days, again for services not entirely available. Rooms were nice, facilities great. I used to love the high end Nikko brand, but oh my god, how the mighty have fallen. Oh, on top, while I was trying to liberate my car, two other dog owners said they had negotiated their dog fees to nothing. I guess the agent just didn’t like me.

I love Hotel Nikko. I have stayed there many times. This is also not a Nikko issue; it is a city issue. But the tenderloin and Market Street areas are not what they used to be, and it takes away from a full, wonderful experience to have to make your way through the number of homeless and drug addicted people. Maybe the solution is working with other hotels or agencies in that zip code or codes, and the city to rebuild that area, incentivize new opportunities, but of course, take care of those that need help and support (mental health, drug abuse, financial, etc.)
