I think it's a bit ridicules to pay for parking for this location. Absolutely no reason for it. The high prices at this location serve enough that there should be no reason for this organization to just make a money grab out of the situation. Were a bit disappointed in the their so called "Holiday Christmas dinner" pretty much a waste of time, money. If I do chose to stay here again. I would definitely rethink my food expenditures.
