"Parking fee of $23 per day wasn’t disclosed neither mentioned upon check in. Initially inquired about the parking system, the only reply I received from their front desk staff is “vallet only” and no fee was mentioned. The only time i realized it was on my check out. As a part of the customer service, i believe ALL possible charges must be disclosed…"
