Hidden charges and very expensive – Posted Jun 21, 2007
by ppolane  (1 reviews)
   
         
Mediocre
36 year old female with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

The hidden charges for parking and internet were unacceptable. We were not advised of any charges for parking (self $7 and valet $18). We were told there was a sign, which is located at valet--which was at a side entrance--in which guests do not use. The hotel manager was not willing to compromise and tried to tell me we were advised of cost. She wasn't there. We had 4 witnesses. For the prices at this hotel--it is so amazing to me that they charge for parking. Most hotels give free valet or cont. breakfast. The food was very expensive and was not that good. We wanted to order "Pizza Hut" and take it to the pool and they advised they would have to bring it to your room for 20% and $3.00 charge. But we could go to food court for pizza which was not Pizza Hut and you could only get pepp or cheese topping.

The pool was wonderful but again to order by the pool was so expensive. Juice or water was $2.50.

Managerial staff was rude to guests and other employees. The manager would never consider helping fix our valet prices. It isn't the fact that we were charged, it is the we were made aware of the charges. Also they left a paper on the last day only-us today--but we were advised if we refuse the paper daily we are still charged? What is wrong with people. The hotel appears to be wonderful--but it has problems that they do not want to fix.

The first night we were there--we were on the 10th floor and there wasn't a room above us --but it was ceiling was leaking. We told them and advised them it was ok to look at it the next day --but it was never mentioned. It was so bad that the couch in the room was wet and water was running down wall.

I know I have been rattling on and on but I just got back and my mind is racing. I am not done complaining and plan to notify whoever I need to. They want to be notified if you are not happy so they can fix the problem--well they didn't want to fix anything.

Poor business traveller support – Posted May 05, 2007

Okay
44 year old male with a luxury budget

I tagged along with my wife as she attended a conference planning to work remotely from the hotel. Had to pay $15/night for a network connection and more to have wireless. That was on top of over $250/night for the room. Wireless was unreliable and only available in about 10% or less of the facility. Turns out that after I had made plans to visit along with my wife an urgent deadline came up and I had a lot of phone meetings and ended up spending as much as 16 hours a day on my computer.

All I was looking for was a reasonably quiet place with power, wireless access and a decent height table, preferably outdoors to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather we experienced. We were told that the only place that wireless was available was in the lobby. I did find that I could get reliable wireless just outside the lobby but no power was available and the tables were under 2 feet high. There was a restaurant in the lobby with "patio" tables that had power and were a good height and had good wireless, which was recommended to me by the hotel's Services Manager, but, of course, there wasn't even a window available. There were a couple of tables in the Lobby Bar at a reasonable height, but there was relatively loud music playing constantly and no power available. The map of wireless access for the hotel showed it being available at the pool bar which was outside, had tables of reasonable height and one table had power nearby, but the wireless didn't actually work there.

If you plan to visit this hotel and intend to spend some time working, I would not recommend it in any way. If you're going to have to hang out inside, you might as well stay at home and work in your office.

In addition, not having a rental car and being stuck in the restaurants in the hotel I found the food to be very good, but very expensive. There were very few low cost options. My wife and I ended up spending around $200/day average for food and beverages during our stay which I don't really consider a good value. Certainly for an average working person that's not completely unreasonable for an occasional "night on the town", but to have to spend that every day for several days with no options is a bit rough.
