This is a beautiful place however I do t think we will be going back, they buckle and dime the heck out of you while they charge you $560 a night, the force you to valet and charge $55 a night, they make you dine at their restaurant by adding a fee to your bill it’s either you use it or lose it, then the give a mysterious tip to someone (only a $1) I’m sure that adds up to a nice little bonus to someone when all the guests are forced to pay that, then the tax you occupancy of 10% and they do that twice, all in all you end up paying well over $200 for all their little fees.

Lucky when the stars align and the winds die down to take a dusk time flight. Blessed to live in such a photogenic town with endless possibilities. If ever on the west coast look me up for info on Newport Beach.
