By comparison the AC location was $180 or 35K for equivalent nights.
When I got the email later in the day, I noticed there was an added "RM Charge- Reward Redemption" charge of $46 per room. I'm guessing this a property specific charge because I haven't had this assessed on my other recent reward stays. Maybe I'm overreacting a bit but I thought it was bit of bogus add-on charge and was irritated that it wasn't disclosed when booking or when checking in. I wouldn't recommend this location if you're booking with points, as the redemption rate of 50K a night is already steep without them tacking on an additional fee for using points.
Wow, thanks for the heads up on current pricing and redemption ... agreed that would be overpriced based on what they're currently offering. I believe we booked our stay on a local promo rate for their grand opening which was less than half of current cash rate.
