Not happy with parking descriptions

The hotel is clean & ideally placed the only downside is the extra fee for parking which is in a multi story park behind the hotel across the street. I can’t remember the price but all hotels need to be more transparent with parking descriptions. I’ve started looking on google earth to check if there is land for cars around hotels now before I book if there isn’t you can almost guarantee extra charges for the privilege to park.
