$15 chica fee. They will not even let chica into the public area without paying. You are limited to one girl. I wanted to go out on patio to have a couple of drinks with a couple of girls and they refused. That really sucked and I let them know it. Yes it is nice hotel, but when girls run a two for one special it really crimps your style. I had to go to love motel for $14.00 . Saved money in long run. I had used my airmiles to pay for my room so my only out of pocket expense was chica fees.
With all due respect - and I am sure you are correct on the points you made about this hotel - most hotels (the Presidente being a notable exception
) will tell you their policies about guests, smoking et al (example - one hotel that gets positive mention and is a sponsor - Freebird - bans cigars - non starter for me; no big deal for others - but I would be pissed if I did not know their policy in advance).I've spokent to guys who used their Marriott points, then complain about policies and distance from the gulch - simple solution - ask; "know before you go"
and never assume anything, especially when a policy could go against you.They are unlikely to to change their policies because a guest objects, but these are the questions you really should have asked before you checked in - the other point is there is a reason certain hotels get mentioned, and others don't.
I actually think your post was great, b/c it gave real recent intel - but this is what you should have known in advance - and using miles - I get it, but if using the miles to stay at a place that frustrated me - well, let me say life is short.
Oh, and Cappodui - 2 points
Its not easy to find a hotel that serves 2 masters - if you don't mind paying a $30 guest fee, the Sleep Inn could work for you, as well as some others
"Tica" means Costa Rican female, not another word for prostitute - you have a lot of reading and learning ahead of you my friend
