RE: COMMON at Gaylord Palm, Orlando

I'm fairly used to paying for hotel parking in dense cities such as New
York, San Francisco, Chicago -- where the hotels have to pay to outsource to
private garages.  I try to stay away from these chains that own acres of
land and still charge paying guests additional fees for parking.

Al I  agree Gaylord hotel/resorts are  off in the middle of no where and 
they make having a car on site  not a palatable choice when you add it all
up.

HELL I did not  have a car  and they tried to charge me for valet parking 
for 7 nights in Orlando.
