The room was good and the view is amazing. I was really disappointed however by being told, I had to pay $10 to park my car. When I asked the gal waiting on me what why she said it’s because the other hotels have conferences and their people take up our parking spaces. She needs to get a better answer. Because if you really value your own customers instead of penalizing them, you would give them a pass and penalize the others so it made no sense what she said.

The room was awesome with a great view and pool BUT they charge for EVERYTHING. Want water in your room? $5 each. Oh if you take a towel $25. Want a robe, 50$. “Enhanced” wifi, $15?? I understand they don’t want people stealing things, but to put signs every where stating you will be charged for it just seemed excessive. Like they were charging for things that should be amenities. If you’re rich though, this place would be perfect for you.
