From the reports in this thread, it’s odd to me that there would be resort fees charged on Chase free nights but not on rewards points free nights.

Did you end up getting charged the resort fee at the Kimpton Shorebreak? I am driving down the California coast, and am considering whether to stay at the IC Monterey (Mon night) or Kimpton Shorebreak (Fri night) using my Chase night.

Between the stinginess of IC Monterey by putting certain guests in "building across the street, away from the water", and Kimpton Shorebreak's pesky Amenity Fee, I'm stuck in between one type of greed vs. the other.
