Great Hotel, Parking is a Scam!!

Hotel accommodations couldn’t have been better. MAJOR SPOILER was the parking. Nobody can give real answer to best way to park. Convinced me I need overpriced day pass to self park my Car. Didn’t explain 24 hours starts once you sign up for pass which isn’t needed to be done until you leave the garage. End of day paid $52 plus late charge to leave the garage. Nobody at hotel can assist and pass buck to valet who then pass buck to parking garage who you can’t get in touch with a human. Again great hotel for reasonable rate but parking makes up for the low rate.
