Come for the cookie and the view; dont come back.
Staying here is not an experience I will repeat as by the time I left the hotel I just had a bad taste in my mouth for how nickle-and-dimed I felt. The staff was great, the room was clean and well furnished, the bed was comfortable, the cookie at check in was memorable, and the view was beautiful However, from the undisclosed parking fee ($15 per day) and the $4 water bottles; everywhere I turned I felt like there was something I could add on to my stay that should have just been included. My room was over $200 per night and I am not planning on coming back. To the hotel owners: figure out how to get validation codes for the only available parking for your own hotel and comp a couple water bottles. It’s the little things that make people want to come back.
