I learned this the hard way. I visited the hotel some years ago, just to check out the cigar store there. Got a wild hair and figured to have an espresso. I was jet-lagged pretty good, so I ordered a triple espresso, which turned out to be the most expensive coffee I've ever had, even to this very day. $13/shot = $39 triple espresso. I was speechless as I paid the bill.

Thanks for the detailed replies. I'm very much looking forward to staying there, hoping they will do adjoining rooms so that we can be comfortable and the kids can be comfortable.

I realize the hotels don't get much revenue for point stays, and I've learned not to expect too much from them when staying on points. Hope for the best, expect the worst...
