I remember a prior TER post speaking highly of La Mansion, so yesterday I went there.

The rooms and food at La Mansion were very nice, equal to if not better than those at Lucerna or Pueblo Amigo.  However, there were some things that I didn’t like about La Mansion policies.  I would like to know if these are new policies and if I’m the only one bothered by such practices.

--Rooms are $36.00, but there is no in/out privilege.  
 Rooms with in/out privileges cost $59.00.
--When checking in they asked for an ID.  They kept my ID until
 I checked out, which was sometihng I really don’t like.
--Before giving me back my ID they sent somebody the check the
  room. I presume that wanted to see I didn’t trash the place,
  steal towels, etc.
--Instead of leaving a mint on the pillow the maid puts condoms
 on the night stand.  That’s not to my taste.
--When they called a cab, the driver wanted $10.00 to go
 downtown.  The normal fee to downtown from that part of TJ is
 $5.00. The cab driver said he had to pay a call out fee.
 Maybe, he’s  right.

Does anybody know:  
(1) Are these the normal polices?  
(2) How long have they had this policy of holding holding IDs?  
I saw others IDs on the desk when checking out, so I think I was treated the same as the other guests.)

I’m not sure I want to return if this is the standard operating procedure.  I appreciate hearing about the experiences others have had at La Mansion, and your thoughts on these policies.
