Disliked: Staff & service
This facility charges outrageous to extortionate fees for paltry to basic to no services (e.g., $50+ early check-in fees --while your room is actually ready.) You've read correctly: your room is ready; and if you want to enter it --you are asked to pay. So you are paying for a non-existing service, or nothing: the definition of extortionate. Rarely has such a dereliction of duty-of-care, or a "customer-first" sensibility been the basis of doing business, outside of illicit activity. It's easy to do better.
