I did not like the $250 incidental hold in my credit card or that they photo copied my driver's licence and credit card, in addition to putting my card in the machine to capture the chip approval. This photocopy was kept in a file slot at the front desk. This process leaves the possibility for fraudulent charges to be made due to the photocopy captures your name, billling address, full credit card number, and your security code.
In this age of identity theft and financial fraud. I can't believe a better process has not been established
