But at the same time, $150/day on top of the $55 resort fee (which covers what now, exactly?) and $85 parking is simply extortionate.

Browsing the web site, I noticed "contactless room service." Is that a euphemism for takeout containers left outside your door in a paper bag? And "daily housekeeping." Shouldn't that be twice daily?

As I've said before, I like this place, but it shouldn't be a Waldorf Astoria.
after 30 to 60 mins of being unattended they take down the umbrella and chairs, we get out early and have never had an issue getting chairs
