Disliked: Amenities

At a time when all fees are supposed to listed in charges, I walked in and was pre-charged $20/day for a facility not available for walking in from anything convenient. There is no airport, bus station, or railway for walkers. Everyone has to park on the property from their cars, it is not close to anything. No one asked if I needed parking and assumed, correctly, that I drove there and told me a parking charge would be done for my stay on the credit card I had to present. No one can or would walk to this hotel. It is a way to bill additionally for something that should have been either pre-billed or free according to new fee guidelines! The charge was a total surprise and I wouldn't have stayed there had I known about parking charges. The FTC needs to hear about this. Ed Kosnoski
