The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg
There was a hidden charge of $18 per night for parking. If only I was informed about parking charge I don't mind paying it but I only came to know about it through my credit card statement and calling them to find out what was this for. I expect more transparency in parking charge.
