Hotels.com failed to explain all the gidden fees
I booked the hotel through Hotels.com and after i paid the email stated the reservation was complete. When i showed up, i found out i needed to pay $25.00 a day to park and the hotel charged a.mandatory conservation fee every day. I was made to pay for the hotel's charitible giving preferences. I should of asked them to pay me for St. Judes giving. I cant stand being nickled and dimed to death. Hotels.com should have made the extra charges know, they are obviously in a relationship with these hotels. I will not use Hotels.com or stay at this hotel again. Its not hard to be honest with prople up front. I felt exploited. because they know your not going to cancel late in the evening after a long drive and try finding another hotel last minute.. The evaluator felt and sounded like it was going to break every time we stopped at the 5th floor.

For a private beach i thought it was pretty weird to charge for use of the beach chairs, especially $10 a day. Especially when you pay an almost $10 daily resort fee. The laundry facilities were outside of the property, so not much security there. You also had to pay $1 for laundry detergent, $1.50 for the washing machine, and $2 for the dryer, all of which are outdated and the dryer requires you to run it twice for full loads. If you’re parking a car, there’s a fee for that too. And, it’s a shared parking garage with the next door hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms and bed were nice, ac was great, bathroom was clean, and the every other day housekeeping was nice. When you’re walking through the hallway you can hear people in their rooms, but we never heard anyone while in our room. No smoking on the balcony and you had to walk to the end of the parking garage for a smoking session. Only cable on the TV as well, but maybe I am just use to the streaming freedom at AirBnBs. The elevator was a bit sketchy for such a new building. I think for the price compared to other places near here the quality was good. I would stay here again in the future, we aren’t too picky. We slept good, had a nice pool, private beach access, and had a nice cool room each day.
