I paid $28 a day to park, forgot my ticket to validate was assured by the front desk that as long as I brought my tickets before check out, no additional parking would be added to my room. Not the case I paid the hotel $28 for 2 days, they could only validate one and then had to pay $20 as well. Beds are horribly uncomfortable, pillows sucks and for the cost of the room and the “luxury” of the hotel, it was extremely disappointing. Shout out to Peaches the bartender in the lounge, best part of our visit. Wouldn’t recommend The Fontaine or stay here again!!

Quick mom/daughter getaway before back to college. Easy walk to plaza for shopping and eating. The rooftop pool was a big perk for us to relax and enjoy our time. Tuesday special was 3 shrimp tacos with Parmesan fries for $10! The restaurant overlooked the country club area and perfect spot for dinner Our room was quite spacious and the robes we crazy soft They also had adorable prepackaged cocktails in a cup for sale in the lobby Cute touch Parking in ramp so if you are there in the winter, at least you don’t have to dig out your car It was very secure. There was an attendant that was always in the ramp. Front desk, staff was very welcoming and remembered us every time we came and went. This might be an annual spot for my daughter and I every year
