When I checked in, I asked if there was any charge for later checkout, they told me “no” then the next morning I got a notification that my credit card was charged $122 for late checkout. I complained to the registration desk and they reduced it to $37.50 for the resort fee but I had already paid that with my Expedia fees. I was dissatisfied with Legacy Lodge and I don’t recommend them to anyone. I will not be booking any future nights with them.
