My husband and I were issued a parking ticket from the kiosk before the gate opened and we parked in the garage. When we check in, the front desk receptionist gave us a parking pass and told us not to use the pass issued from the kiosk and not to worry about parking. The stay was fine, but I checked my banking app and was charged $24.99 for parking. I called the hotel several times only to be transferred to a voicemail and never received a call back. I had to call my bank to dispute the charge and receive a refund. Be careful with this hotel!
