Disliked: Room comfort
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!!
