Hotels.com outline free parking at the top of the page. On arrival, I was met with a parking attendant and had to pay £30 for three nights. When checking in I raised this, original lady offered full refund, then manager was listening in. Came all guns blazing and stated that parking was not free and that if I’d looked properly on hotels.com (at the bottom of page) I would know this. And that the free parking was based on old reviews (not made obvious on booking page). The original lady then changed her mind and offered £20 refund rather than full. I accepted this and appreciated the gesture. I explained to the manager that the booking page is misleading and should be changed, the manager was not open to this feedback.
A main reason I booked this hotel was for the free parking. I would advise if this is also you, don’t waste your money and try somewhere else as most parking areas in Chester are £10/night and hotel prices are similar.
