    just wondering how how this is working out as I have experienced not being able to get a parking place and people double parked and all kinds of things at some of these hotels.....not so bad when it's free but when you pay how does that work?

    I'm not sure how it works when you pay for parking and their are no spots available. The hotel I last stayed at had a deal with the Denny's next door that hotel guests could park there after 11 PM.

    I also don't like the very tight parking lots. You have to squeeze your car in and then hope it doesn't get hammered. Then again, if it is a rental.... lol

ALso filling out paperwork at the return rental location could cause you to be late for your plane departure. Yes I guess I worry about every detail but you are correct. The narrow parking at BWPP is worrisome. What does the amount for the new resort fee tax amount to per day?
