These people don't even consider by mistake the impact that their childish retaliation has on the environment, I find it deeply depressing

God forbid your 2 ton hunk of metal doesn't get free storage everywhere you go.

Of all the extra fees, parking fees seem like some of the most sensible...

It's time to stop subsidizing parking spaces. Their land use is actually really expensive and that burden should be on those using the land for storing tons of metal, not cross-financed by those choosing more sustainable means of transport.

All sorts of comments here are missing the real problem: businesses had a chance to do online meetings. But they dont. So they send people everywhere, staying in hotels, driving up the costs, charging them for parking because they can.

The fallout is everyone pays more. It isn't just people on vacation paying for this.

I propose a compromise: Parking is free, but there's a discount if you don't need car storage space.

Fuck you dudes get a bike. Or Uber when traveling.

And stop using x.

And while I have your attention, dont forget to brush and floss tonight.

The root problem here is car dependency.

Capitalism creates helplessness in order to exploit it.

There's a beefeater (UK pub/restaurant chain) in my town that recently made their car park pay and display. Their customers have resorted to parking on the grass verges and pavements leading up to the building, causing safety issues (blocking views of turning onto a 50 road, covering pavement and forcing pedestrians into the road; that sort of thing).

I'm sure if the local council started charging them for the damage caused to the green, or even the damage caused by accidents due to their customers choice of parking, the car parking fee would quickly disappear.

Tbh, I'm surprised it hasn't already. Their car park is always empty now, so it's not generating revenue, and they used to have double the amount of cars you see round there now.. so my guess is people fucked off somewhere else, and this attempt at squeezing just resulted in a permanent loss of regular revenue

Passive-aggressive bullshit, brought on by emotional immaturity, and social anxiety.

Fucking children running around in adult bodies.

A small knife can take away some of the caulk around the bathtub if you like to play the long game.

Is that an X.com ad or what!

Based on all of those "Trivago" commercials I've seen I can only conclude that the whole hotel industry is a scam, trying to trick you into giving them more money than what the room is worth.

Good lord, the amount of people who are unwilling to state what their issue is and actually take an action that will change the problem is ridiculous. Nothing suggested in the comments or the post will ever make a connection in the minds of the hotel's owners or managers. You'll add to their bottom line, sure, but the hotel going out of business isn't necessarily a good thing, considering the building will sit there for a few years, be sold to another chain, and reopen. The other hotels in the area are probably charging the same parking fee, or just folding it into their total cost. Maybe since the first hotel closed, they'll get to tack on more fees with less competition. You've accomplished nothing except adding more waste to the junkyard/garbage dump.

Get your ass onto a review site, clearly explain what you're annoyed with, and state you won't be going back. Go to another review site, repeat. Repeate. Repeatay. One, it makes the issue clearly visible to other people who might now choose to stay elsewhere, and two, it costs the hotel the same (well, maybe the same) amount of money but now they have an incentive to change whatever it is that annoyed you because of people choosing to stay elsewhere until it's changed.

Even better, a bit of melted ice cream poured down the air conditioner vents of your polluting rolling hunks of metal will make your car smell like vomit for eternity.
