I did not pay for parking at either Rosen Inns unless it was included in the bill to stay there. The walk wasn't that bad and needless to say that the free shuttles to Orlando would have easily made up for that fee if there was one.
I don't know why, but they make a lot of money with just the parking fee. The daily rate is ridiculously high.
There seems to be many of the larger hotels in the orlando area are now charging for parking. I think it is a huge revenue generator ..
Its because of the convention centre. I felt the same way. Best to use valet parking or you might have a long walk.
