Embassy Suites: "your car stays FREE" package is a

[gretchenindisguise]

load of crap.

Price of room: $139
Car Stays Free price: $179.

Price of parking if you get the $139 = $24/night

That's kind of the opposite of free.

Also, while you're here. Let's talk about charging $12.95/night of wireless. Seriously, who charges for internet anymore.

We stayed at a hotel last summer that charged for internet. I was like, "What is this, 1998?"

I can't believe how many charges hotels are getting away with nowadays. Doing my expense reports is a nightmare after all of the taxes, parking charges, wireless and "resort fees". FFS, I just want to use the gym and GBCN while I watch TV in bed.. Don't even get me started on room service. $17 for Breakfast!! UGH!!

Hotel packages are pretty often a bad deal.

I usually only consistently see free internet when I'm staying at a hotel that is both business- and budget-oriented like a Courtyard by Marriott or Homewood Suites.  Nicer hotels often still charge for internet because hey -- their wealthy guests will pay for it (or will expense it, if it is business travel).  Same with breakfasts and such.

I totally thought that said 'your cat stays free' and thought you were going to be posting about the exorbitant price they charge to change/clean cat litter.
