Secret Service is MOST DEFINITELY there 24 hours a day. If you really think that, you are ignorant. Of course they do it in shifts, anyone with half a brain would understand that.
And that is different than saying "Agents providing security are not on duty 24 hours a day" HOW??????????

Do you understand how a business or security that operates 24 hours a day works? I'm not going to waste any more time with this ridiculous argument. You are either trolling or fucking brain dead.
I've already provide a link to one of your trusted commie sources that says the money spent a Mar Lago is only a fractions of what the Secret Service spends on hotels, rental cars and other services. All are in accordance with allowable GSA per diem rates. Stop your fucking whining already.

Here is a good article for you to read... which I know you won't.
Taxpayers spent $1,000 on cocktails for Trump staffers (and more) at Trump's Florida club, Mar-a-Lago
The article still doesn't say Mar Lago is charging more than the maximum allowable rate. Only key staffers and cabinet officers stayed there during the China state visit and were charged $546 per night instead of the normal $2,000 members pay. Other staffers stayed off site, just like the off duty Secret Service agents do. Essentially the resort is losing money when Trump staffers stay there, because the rooms are not available for customers that pay their normal rates.
Of course, the “easiest” way to visit Mar-a-Lago is to become a member. Membership has numerous benefits, such as the use of the formal and casual dining areas, the Trump Spa and Salon, the pool, the Beach Club, the fitness center, and gorgeous state-of-the-art suites, just to name a few. But it will cost you a fortune: A $200,000 initiation fee to be exact, plus $15,000 in annual dues. Oh, and if you’d like to spend the night, you’ll have to pay an extra $2,000.
Here's What It Costs to Take a Vacation at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Resort

That article clearly stated about how expensive drinks are, and that the charges were so high the state Department didn't want to pay them. It also said that that Mar-a-Lago TURNED DOWN a request from the federal government to get bulk rate discounts. It also said that Trump worked to get the maximum rates that places could charge over-turned.
If you are going to complain about spending of tax money, at least fucking be consistent.
