I'm confused. I took the difference in points, for the nights we stayed, and accounted for the dues we paid for each point (above the standard points). It came out to $44 and change per night. What else do I need to figure in to get the true cost?
To get a true sense of the cost you have to look at the cost for the points used which is dues plus some fraction of the purchase amount. It's no different than only counting the cost of gas in deterring the vehicle cost on a long trip. The simplest way to do it, which should over estimate some, is to take the rental value. For AKV that's likely about 50% more than the dues alone at this point.
Ugh, I hear what your saying, I was just looking at my use of points not what they are potentially worth. I guess for my purpose I would have to ask myself what I would really do with the extra 14 points for 2 nights. We never stay in a studio more then 2 nights so for us it's worth it once in a while to have the snacks, drinks and some room to roam.
Regardless those points with planning have a defined value, namely the value of a rental minus taxes owed.

I would presume it needs to pay for itself. Given the setup it really has to and if it doesn't, they will raise the prices or shut it down. In effect the club lounge at AKV does as well but because of the extra points and extra dues associated.
Full-time, yes. Free, no. . .at least not all the time. The word is they'll charge for certain events/classes, not to mention it will be a quasi-CL with a continental breakfast in the morning and some snacks and drinks at a designated time in the afternoon. All of that could change, of course, given how
