I had a training class in the area and it was extended an extra day. The hotel that I had been staying at prior to was full so I called the Courtyard Marriott to book a room I was told over the phone that the room would be $139.00 a night. I showed up later that day to check in my wife had dropped me off outside and I walked in while she was pulling in and parking our vehicle. The lady at the front desk gave me a slip for our vehicle for parking and told me to have my wife disregard the one that she was given when she pulled in our vehicle. We got our luggage out of the vehicle went to our room and relaxed. The next morning when we woke up I found a bill that had been placed under our room door on that bill we were charged $16.00 dollars for overnight parking which we had not been made aware of any fee over the phone when I called or when I checked into the hotel. On top of the hidden parking fee I was also charged an occupancy tax of $14.60, a California tourism fee of $0.05, and a TMD fee of $2.78 which brought my bill total to $172.43. I was not happy about the hidden parking fee and brought it up to the front desk when I checked out I was then told that they charge $16.00 dollars for overnight parking and if I had been staying at the Courtyard Marriott in downtown San Diego I would have had to pay $30.00 dollars for parking and to avoid the fee I would have had to park my vehicle off of their property. I then asked the lady where else could I have parked it in that area to avoid the fee and she was not able to give me any answer. As well as the fee incident we found out that we would have to pay for breakfast as well after we had gone done that morning to get our breakfast we were not made aware when we checked in that breakfast was not provided at all unless we paid for it. I will not stay at a Courtyard Marriott again their are many other hotels that are just as nice and offer free parking and free breakfast!
