Misleading advertising - The advertised “free admission” and “admission included” is misleading or just false. What that means to them is you stand in front of the buildings, not enter them. You see nothing. The only building you actually go into is the Pfister Hotel, which is beautiful, but all you get is to walk in the lobby for less than 5 minutes, which is open to the public anyway. I was extremely disappointed. That’s not what I thought I was paying for.
