Eight of thirteen low reviews cite high resort and parking fees totaling $110 or more daily. These fees appear hidden until after booking and confirmed in five-star reviews too, meaning you will pay substantially more than the room rate. The hidden charge structure is the deal-breaker here.

Hidden resort and parking fees add $110+ dailycost

Resort fees ($40) and valet parking ($75) appear only after booking and are mandatory with no alternatives. Guests report total daily charges of $110 or more on top of the room rate.
