I'm in La Jolla again and unwilling to pay my hotel for the necessity of parking my rental car. I think that if hotels get away with assigning costs to car parking, then it will be logical to expect them to levy "sheet fees", or "toilet tissue fees", or even a fee for the water used to shower with. Like most, if not all American businesses, hotels simply want money. Their needs would be met if we reserved a room, paid for it, but never used it. They could sell and re-sell the same room to as many people as would want to pay them for that privilege.
It is greedy and disingenuous for a hotel to assess a fee for parking (stabling) the vehicles that bring customers to them. We decided not to pay, so our car is out on the street, hiding in plain sight from the La Jolla Parking Nazis (LJPN). The car is a Chevrolet rendition of a PT Cruiser, and is immensely ugly. It's also screaming bright red. RED!!!! BRIGHT RED!!!!!!!!!
I'll be back in a little while. I'm going to go down to the hotel garage to see how many people paid. I hope that it will be empty, but I'm certain that people will not question this new expense.
