Dear John, apologies for your disappointment. Expedia which is the booking engine you used has our 200 deposit for incidental charges as well as all access fees explained. The authorization of 200 goes back to your credit card if you do not use it for our restaurants. All access fees include the use of our fitness center, wellness classes on the rooftop, guest lounge that serves coffee, tea, fruits, water, and business center, wifi, wine hour between 5-6pm on the rooftop, and priority entry to our Rooftop and Restaurant. Apologies for the music your heard at 3am. We hope to make it better on your next stay!

Really nice hotel and service despite the feedback on Yelp. Only complaint is the price of food at the snack bar in the lobby.
