I just arrived at the hotel at 2:00 pm. I wait in line to get to the check in counter. The clerk tells me that my rooms are ready. But if I want to check in now it will cost me $30.00 per room to check in now. Otherwise I need to come back in 50 minutes to check in with no additional charge. She goes on to say that the $30.00 fee is random from day to day. So I now have to stand in the lobby with my family and all our luggage for 50 minutes. Then get in the back of the long line to check in with no extra cost. This is crazy.
