I was double-charged for parking, and the hotel charged me again!
I recently stayed at The Palazzo at the Venetian and had a very unpleasant experience after checking out.
Before leaving, I had already paid for parking in cash at the exit machine. As everyone knows, the parking barrier only lifts after payment, and my car exited smoothly, which proves I had paid at the time.
However, upon checking my credit card statement after returning home, I found that the hotel had charged an additional $20. After contacting the hotel, they claimed this was for parking – meaning I was charged twice for the same parking fee.
I have the following evidence:
* A screenshot of the cash payment for parking at the machine.
* A handwritten note from the front desk staff detailing charges and deposits.
* My bank's transaction record.
The evidence is clear, yet I now have to spend time and effort disputing this double charge with customer service.
$20 is not a lot of money, but it's a matter of attitude and principle. As a five-star resort hotel, they should have a standardized billing system and respect their guests, rather than double-charging and then making guests spend their own time correcting their mistakes.
I hope the hotel management takes this issue seriously and improves their internal processes. But for now, I recommend that everyone carefully check their credit card statements after checking out and keep all payment receipts – because it turns out that even if you pay cash at the machine, you might not avoid being charged again.
