hidden EV charge

Clerk at check-in must have been having a bad day, she was curt and dismissive. Before booking I called ahead to see if the hotel had EV charging. They said yes we do, right in the hotel's parking facility. When I got there, I found they had two EV spots. One didn't work, the other was slow. But the problem then was that EV charging was extra fees nobody had mentioned. So in addition to the $22/night parking fee (announced), there was $30-$35 EV charging fee (unannounced). I asked front desk to credit my account; this person was much nicer though not hopeful. But she did check with the manager, who agreed to credit my account -- but then they never did. The hotel and room itself was very clean and comfortable.

Service Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

I went to the parking garage to put things in my car. To my surprise, the key fob did not open the door, no matter what I did. I thought I would have to call AAA, but the lady at the front desk said, “Let’s try this first”. Two men from the engineering department came. Although I thought my key fob was to blame, they were able to determine that the key fob was in good working order. They also showed me how to take an actual key out of the key fob, so that we could open the car. I didn’t even know that key was there. Even though we were now able to access the car, it still didn’t start. eventually, they told me that they had figured out that I had drained my battery. The overhead light failed to go off when I exited the car on the previous day. We still did not have to call AAA. They had a device that charged the battery of my car. I was saved! It seems to me that this is definitely service above and beyond the call of duty. I was impressed with their professionalism, their courtesy, and their expertise. This hotel seems to take very good care of their guests.
