AaronJB Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Welcome to the site.When you search for this property, click on the "continue" button to get more details. There should be a list of amenities - click on "see all amenities" - do you also see a "children's activity program" icon?It's understandable how your GF feels; 5 years ago, I thought, "who would want to use a service where you don't know where you're staying!?" Now, there's no way I would go back to booking a hotel conventionally. Link to comment

ilusa Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Quick question concerning Parking Fee'sMy gf was just reading up on the marriot the place sounds great..One thing she noticed though is that it costs 20 dollars a night to park your car @ there hotel? It seems a bit crazy???I was wondering if anyone knew of any tips or tricks to get around this parking fee?If not i guess we will have to bite the bulletthanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 You may be able to find a cheaper parking lot nearby, but the difference will not be much. Parking at hotels in NYC and Chicago can be $40-50 and, in some cases, more than that - hotel parking all around is going upwards.The hotel may be $20 for valet and may be cheaper for self-park or, unfortunately, may just be $20 in general - I'd call the hotel.

ilusa Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Ok thanks for the heads upIt just seems a bit crazy, They normally charge 160 a night + 20 dollars parking + tax..LoL, Starts to addup Fast! Link to comment
