Nice hotel and everything’s fine. Just a couple of oddities:
1) This was a prepaid. However, as is typical, an incidentals hold was placed for $100. Little steep but maybe customary for this area. However, front desk agent handed me back my card and said this fee was declined. Knowing there was no way there could be a problem w the card, I asked him to please try again. He typed on his keyboard saying he was trying again and it worked without even needing to present the card again. OK — it didn’t work as he thought so I just got called back to the front desk. This time I inserted my card into the reader myself and it went through just fine. I guess technical issues sometimes occur - but it was an inordinate amount of hassle for an “incidentals hold” in my opinion.
2) The agent handed me a parking pass to place in the car. I walked back out to the car , parked in the lot, and in that short amount of time, somebody had set their empty fast food soda cup right on my new car’s hood.
My feeling overall: if 1) people around here can’t be trusted to pay incidentals should they occur and 2) clientele are inclined to place empty cups on other people’s cars when there is a trash can at the front door, I’m not staying in the right part of town.
