Don't pre-pay for parking with reservation

Paid for parking as part of my Hotels.com registration. The registration details don't specify where to park, and the desk clerk's directions were not sufficient for me to find the correct parking location. Had to park elsewhere which cost $61, and hotel was unable to refund the $30 parking payment I had already paid as part of my reservation because I booked through hotels.com. So I essentially paid $91 for one night of parking.

We have stayed at the Palmer house last Christmas 2023 as well as this year 2024 and in the past. In 2023 they charged a $25 per night fee that you could get back at their bar/restaurants, spa, dry cleaning services etc. You just charged to your room. This year they changed it to only get $10 a day back of fee per day in bars/restaurants on their property. This fee is not obvious and explained that well until you check in. We donated $15 for each night as we didn't use other services. Overall, the Palmer is a beautiful, historic hotel and great service if you need something. We were on the South side and heard the L train all the while in room and offered to move us. We were only there 2 nights so didn't pay to change. They also had a guitar musician in the grand lobby on Christmas eve and so nice to come back to after being with family before returning to our room.
