Some family did a little overnight at the W Hotel Lakeshore last weekend. Nice place – they really did impressive things with that property. I think it was what, a Quality Inn before? Particularly impressive are the little zen rock boxes at the baseboard in the hallways…must have been a serious amount of manual labor to get those right.
Anyway, the big surprise – valet parking only… and it’s $39/day.
Some of the downtown garages have like $10 a day again for parking, so this just seemed obscene.

(Note: for those who have previously flamed me for not using public transport — the parker in question this time was my mother-in-law. :)
