When I asked if it was OK to stay in the parking lot a few minutes past checkout time, I was assured that it was no problem. It cost me fifty dollars to stay an extra 20 minutes while I finished a relaxing lunch there. The overall experience was OK but I will never again stay with penny ante pikers !
