MONEY GRAB

Everything about the hotel was fine—clean, comfortable, decent amenities—but the excessive nickel-and-diming ruined the experience. You’re charged for *everything*. Didn’t turn in your key? That’s a fee. Stay even 10 minutes past checkout? That’s a flat $50 charge, no grace period, no flexibility. It feels less like hospitality and more like a money grab. I expect to pay for services, but this place goes out of its way to squeeze every dollar it can out of you. Disappointing and unnecessary.
