Marriott Desert Springs NEW per night Parking fee

I don’t think it will apply to any ownership reservations, and that includes exchanges in via II (because those are ownership reservations being used by the exchanger) or Abound. They will only apply to cash or Bonvoy points reservations made via Marriott (hotels), and Encore Package reservations. This is the same as they’ve done at many other resorts.

Ownership stays include parking contractually I think, I don’t believe they can start charging for those.

So I really don’t think it’s a big deal.

Yes, I agree, my post was not meant to be specific to only MVC owners.

It probably won't even apply to non-Marriott owners who exchange into the resort.

I agree, my post was too specific.

I got a welcome email from Lakeshore Reserve for our upcoming stay in a few weeks. Right at the top was the following information.

Be Advised:
Starting on Wednesday, January 1st, 2025, parking at Lakeshore Reserve will be available for a daily fee of $25 per vehicle, applicable to rental reservations only, with a maximum of 2 cars.

Marriott Lakeshore Reserve is in the Grande Lakes complex with the Ritz and JW Marriott. For context:

How much is parking at Grande Lakes Orlando?
Daily valet parking and overnight valet parking are $54 plus tax at both hotels. Self-parking is only available at the JW Marriott at a rate of $38 plus tax per day.
