Do you remember the days when you arrived at a hotel and there was a car park or even more importantly, it was free?
I understand that hotels in city centres like London and New York don’t have car parks and that land is expensive. I am really not expecting to park my car at a city centre Hotel.
However, when I arrive at a hotel that has a car park and, in some cases, a hotel in it’s own grounds, I am not expecting to pay for parking. Hotels used to be pleased to have your business and I know there has been a pandemic, but some of these hotels feel like they are doing you a favour by letting you park in their car park, even when they are charging, in some cases, £25.
I only parked for about 10 minutes in a hotel car park recently, before moving my car and when I complained about some other matters their comments were we have waived your car park fee! I think £25 is a bit steep for 10 minutes in any car park and it makes parking in London and New York look like a bargain.
Do you expect a car park at a hotel?
Do you think you should have to pay for it?
If you think people should be paying, what do you consider reasonable?
Do you think disabled should have to pay for parking?
