The parking area was plentiful and safe. The check-in was the first distressing moment. I paid in advance via Affirm, and that went well. When my friend and I checked in I was told that my credit card would be charged $100 for incidentals. $100! That was 80% of the room rate! We were checking in at 9 PM and would be leaving by 9AM the next morning. I was certainly irritated, in that I was using a low limit CC that I usually used for emergencies, and didn't want to wait five days for it to be credited back. I thought $35 or even $50 was much more reasonable. No dice, hotel policy is $100, I was told. I asked, if I paid cash, would I get it back the next morning? Yes, I was told. Okay...gave them $100, and went to our room. The next morning, after no charges to the room during the 12 hours, we checked out. I said where's my "incidentals" deposit, and I was asked to wait, until housekeeping could check the room to make sure I hadn't stolen a towel or a pillow or something. Thank goodness we had told them earlier that the in-room coffee maker was missing the tray to hold the coffee pods. After 15 minutes, I was finally handed back my $100 bill. Breakfast was impressive looking, but the gravy container for the biscuits was empty for at least 30 minutes (gave up trying for that), and there was a constant line of 10 or 12 people trying to get a waffle from the ONE waffle maker.
