点评:We came to Sundance for lunch, expecting a nice experience in the mountains. The setting is beautiful, though much of it is currently under construction, which takes away from the charm. The food? Adequate at best—definitely overpriced for what it is. But none of that really matters, because what we’ll remember most about this visit is the blatantly deceptive parking situation.
After paying for an expensive, underwhelming meal, we returned to our car only to find a parking violation waiting for us. There were no clear signs indicating that this was a paid lot—no obvious pay stations, no markings on the parking spots, nothing that a reasonable person would see and immediately recognize as a pay-to-park situation.Apparently, we weren’t the only ones fooled—the car parked next to us had a ticket as well.
When we spoke with a parking attendant, they admitted they’ve had this issue before. The supervisor even tried to justify it by saying the sign was “as big as my chest”—as if reading fine print on someone’s T-shirt while driving by is a reasonable expectation! If multiple people are getting ticketed daily, maybe—just maybe—the signage isn’t clear enough? Of course, that’s the whole point. Instead of making it easy for visitors to pay, they’d rather make money by ticketing unsuspecting guests.
This shady parking policy ruined what should have been a nice day. Instead of feeling like valued guests, we felt tricked and scammed. If you’re coming to Sundance, be prepared to either overpay for parking or overpay for a meal or both. We won’t be back.
翻译:我们来到圣丹斯吃午餐,期待在山中度过一段美好的时光。环境很美,不过目前大部分都在建设中,这削弱了它的魅力。食物呢?最多只能说是一般般——绝对贵得离谱。但这些都不重要,因为我们对这次访问印象最深的是明显欺骗性的停车情况。
在支付了一顿昂贵而平淡无奇的餐费后,我们回到车上,却发现有一张停车违规罚单在等着我们。没有明显的标志表明这是一个付费停车场——没有明显的收费站,停车位上没有标记,没有一个理智的人一眼就能看出这是付费停车的情况。显然,我们并不是唯一被骗的人——停在我们旁边的车也有一张罚单。
当我们与停车场服务员交谈时,他们承认他们以前也遇到过这个问题。主管甚至试图辩解说,这个标志“和我的胸部一样大”——好像开车经过时读别人 T 恤上的小字是合理的预期!如果每天都有多个人被开罚单,也许——只是也许——标志不够清晰?当然,这就是重点。他们宁愿通过向毫无戒心的客人开罚单来赚钱,而不是让游客轻松付款。
这种可疑的停车政策毁了原本应该美好的一天。我们没有觉得自己是尊贵的客人,反而觉得自己被欺骗了。如果你要来圣丹斯,准备好多付停车费或多付一顿饭钱,或者两者兼而有之。我们不会再来了。
