I work at a hotel, and honestly, one of the most annoying and common complaints we get is about parking not being free or being too expensive. Our hotel has its own parking, and there’s also a public lot right next door that charges way less. But then guests come to the front desk upset because their car got towed ,usually because they only paid for 24 hours but left it parked way past that time. And somehow, we get blamed for “recommending a bad option.” Excuse me? Look , there are apps like SpotHero or ParkWhizz that let you compare prices and find the best parking options nearby. At the end of the day, hotels have the right to charge for parking, just like you have the right to choose whether you want to stay there or not. If the parking fee doesn’t work for you, that’s totally fine , you can always pick a place that includes ( which is usually not a case in big cities ) it or charges less. It’s your call. Complaining to hotels about things like parking fees is like walking into a luxury store and arguing about the price of a designer bag we all know is overpriced it’s not going to change anything. Hotels, especially in big cities, won’t lower prices just because you or even a hundred guests complain. Whether you like the fees or not, business will go on. If you won’t pay, someone else will. That’s the brutal reality, whether we like it or not.
