A lot of hidden costs and the receipt was not accepted by my company for work travel. They add RESORT fee. Most of it not used and FOOD credits also unused. They tell you at the desk upon check in and what do I do? Make a new reservation on the day I am supposed to check in? The neighborhood is not good. Maybe two blocks over is much safer.
