Your post should probably go in the actual property thread where more might see it who are interested in staying at the property
It sounds like it was a typical European continental, even if it didn't rise to your standards. Not all Autographs provide a drink coupon so that's a plus. BTW - restaurants - including hotels - worldwide don't automatically offer water anymore, but have you request it. Helps not to waste water. The hotel has zero parking (it's all off-site, which is mentioned on the hotel website), so a bit confused on the valet parking comment.
I have no doubt you fought for the 20K/received it. Given all the fuss you put up beforehand I assumed this was going to be a hassle/the property would lose (or pay you off
)
We had someone today who had a bigger (legit) issue than your breakfast & received less.
BTW - a FTer stayed at the property after it opened/got a junior suite w/ a balcony. Video review here:
