Yeah you know, I'm so confused because last time I was in Seattle, I gave my debit card and the guy told me because it was debit's, he had to charge my whole stay plus incidentals right at check in and then, return the incientals when I check out... So yeah, I couldn't buy me anyhthing because the momey I had for my things was being hold for incidentals by the hotel
Then, when I was in Dallas, it was even worse because they didn't know how to handle my debit card
So, yeah, I don't know if rules change from one hotel to another or from on state to another but I hate they charge more my total stay for something I'm not going to use !!!
