Not awarding points for this service is another sign that some procedures seem to be applied blindly by some properties. It just does not make sense.
The $75 was for 3 bottles, so $25 per bottle.

Also, I should add that my parking charges were almost $100, which generated 0 points. I often park in the city garage across the street; it's very cheap if you come in early evening and leave early. I might park at the hotel more often if it generated points.
