It depends on the hotel but one strategy I’ve found is to tell them you didn’t drive or aren’t parked there as a bold face lie. They can barely pay staff to clean the rooms and they don’t patrol the parking lot. If they erroneously tow a guest or employee who forgot their permit or mid-remembered their license plate that would be really bad for them - it’s not worth the risk.
Yeah no. Im a subject matter expert on parking. If the demand for their parking is so high that they are charging, then they very likely have a parkinf enforcement plan.
In the marekt...he who who makes money off an asset, protects said asset.
You speak as one unlearned in parking asset management.
That's a great way to get your car towed.
They just have a company like inpark run their lot, they don't need to do or pay shit. The company tows and charges all on its own.
