Parking wasnt free

Good breakfast choices, clean friendly service. Only is was I called the hotel to ask about parking for upcoming cruise. I was assured I could leave my car for no charge. When I arrived I was told I could not leave my car. Later I was informed I could for 140. I would have stayed at another Holiday Inn had I known this. I felt this was deceptive.
