I did not like the $75.00 per night for incidentals as this was not communicated to me upon check in. It was only after i checked my credit card statement was i made aware of the $600.00 hold (i.e 8 nights). This info should be placed on the website or promptly communicated to the guests. I will update again depending upon how soon the hold is released on my c/c
