Got a surprise when we checked-in early at Rincon Friday(12/14), rooms were available, but $25+tax early check-in fee now. Also if you play on your player's card and. The buffet has improved since our last stay 4 months ago. It was quite noisy in the hotel lobby area during the day. The letter about the construction says it ends at 11pm each night and we didn't hear any construction noise in our Garden Tower(GT) room 252, about 6 rooms from the GT elevators.
Valet parking is open at it's usual area, but I was told no self parking in the back parking lot now. The fitness center usual entrance was blocked off by a portable screen, so I'm not sure if you can use the fitness center. The construction is at the pool and BBQ restaurant area of the property. I also asked if my reserved room isn't ready after the 4pm check-in time will I receive a $25 credit for my inconvenience. I've emailed corporate to explain that we will now stop at the 3 casinos we drive by on our way to Rincon and play there until after the 4pm check-in time at Rincon. Since we drive 2 1/2 hours from our home to Rincon, we like to arrive before 10am to maximize our casino time at Rincon. From various travel websites these new fees apply at CET properties and the amount of the fee varies between properties.
