We came here last year with our grandkids as a water park is always a hit. We knew everything was expensive and we expected just the basic stay to be high. Prepaying on Expedia months in advance, we went there thinking no more "must pay" fees. But when we came up to be checked in, we were told that there was a new $15 a night parking fee policy that just went into affect at the beginning of the month. They not only charged us once but tried to charge us a second $15 charge. Terrible business policy when your already paying several hundred dollars a night and the parking lots half full.
