Not Happy about parking fee

Property was great but not happy paying $15.00 parking fee for 2 cars. Those cost should be in the search description so I can equally compare these type locations with those not charging extra fees. That extra $30 push the cost over what I wanted to spend for the one night.

Very nice and clean. Only reason I took away a star is because the road noise was really loud. I assume if you’re not on the side of the hotel near the highway, it’s probably better.
