Swan/Dolphin parking question

[calmpets]

I understand that parking is $15 per night, but I'm not clear on whether that is regardless of check-in time/check-out time, or if it's for a 24 hour time period. For example, if I get to the Swan at 10am, do I have to leave by 10am the following day to avoid an additional day's parking fee?

Also, am I right in thinking the resort fee is mandatory? I have no need of anything that's included with it, but it doesn't sound like it's optional.

That resort fee is one of the things I dislike about the Swolphin. Since it's a mandatory fee why don't they just include it in the rate?

Extra charge for parking I can understand, if you don't drive you don't get charged if you do you get charged for usage.

The fee is mandatory but includes a free newspaper, 2 bottles of water a day, self parking and internet. The fee is charged for how many nights you stay. We were there last month for 4 nights, free stay on the room from SPG points but we were charged the resort fee for 4 nights...checked in at noon and out at 3pm

Alot of the time we are forced to use the valet service because the self parking lot is always full

Thanks for the answers on the resort fee. Anyone able to clarify the parking charge?
