We are committed to providing exceptional service and amenities for all our guests. Our $89.95 Daily Guest Benefits Package is thoughtfully designed with travelers in mind, offering valuable perks that enhance your stay — both now and beyond.
When factoring in the cost of our mandatory fees into the total cost of your stay, you'll often find that our overall pricing is typically less expensive than any of our competitors — especially once you take advantage of the included amenities and rewards.
Because the amenity program delivers a comprehensive bundle of experiences and benefits, it’s applied to all reservations and is therefore a mandatory part of the stay. Most guests find that the value far exceeds the cost, especially once they take advantage of even a few of the included perks.
If you would like help accessing your benefits, our front desk team is happy to assist!
