    There are so many places in the US that are functionally impossible to travel to, without some very expensive and impractical transit.

    Hotels charge parking to make extra money. They need you to drive to them for vacation, otherwise they would go out of buisness

      the average hotel stay is not for vacation, it’s for work. monday-friday morning is primarily workers, friday-sun morning are usually the vacationers/visitors/etc. resorts and stuff? all vacation all the time. but your local hilton? not so much

        Oh I feel that too, traveled for work so much in 1 year I managed to get top rewards for a chain.

        The hotels that charged parking were the ones we rarely stayed at and typically were in more touristy areas. The hotel right off the interstate didn’t charge for parking. Honestly most hotels don’t charge parking
