Hotel fee not fully disclosed, customer service doesn't care - Hotels

So the title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a hotel in Austin and agree to $50 a night. Where they put me in the hilton by the airport. I find out parking for the hotel is $20 a day! So now I'm not paying $50 but I'm paying $70. They don't tell you about this hidden fee and they don't offer a way for you to reject it once you've agreed to pay the $50 you get put pretty much where ever they want you. That extra $20 a day for parking adds up quickly so it's simply unacceptable.
I called their #800 and spoke with 4 very rude customer "service" reps all of which told me "you agreed to pay all hotels hidden fees" and hung up on me. Not once but 4 times. They refused to transfer me to a manager and hung up on me! Luckily in these situations I make sure I get their Name and employee ID first... Which are:
Edward 5260080
Jade 5260134
Ivey 41391
Tyler 526021
Now this behavior is not what I consider service so I google for pricelines CEO and found this information: Priceline.com Inc.
