Rothschild 22, a Fattal hotel in Tel Aviv: Marcelle and I reserved a room and parking space through this hotel's customer service. Their customer service representative reserved a parking space for us at 1 Rothschild Street, where there is supposedly a parking lot. However, neither their representative by phone, nor their hotel clerk, nor their site provides a map to the hotel. The hotel clerk asked us to use Waze to find the parking lot, but unfortunately GPS was not working at the time when we tried to use Waze. We returned to the hotel to get instructions from the clerk, who said he did not know the way to the location. The problem is that there is a pedestrian mall blocking a straight drive down the street to number 1 Rothschild, where the lot is supposed to be located. We tried to find a way around to the parking lot, asking pedestrians in our search. No one was able to help. In the end, after more than two hours of searching, we came upon a parking space on a street near the hotel. Before we left the hotel, we asked the checkout clerk not to charge for the parking space. Although she said that the parking lot did not belong to the hotel, she said she had to charge us. Clearly, though, even if the hotel does not own the lot, the hotel was acting as an agent of the lot because they were collecting the fee for the lot. When I lost my temper at her, another clerk came and told her not to charge us for the parking lot. Nevertheless, our experience at this hotel was ruined by having to search for parking. I might add that the room was tiny, the windows could not be opened and the sliding door to the toilet made noise, so that anyone who used it at night would wake anyone who might be sleeping in the room and perhaps in an adjacent room since the walls were thin.
