Also how well does this Hilton treat Diamond ? And which rooms afford a good view ?
My stays were generally one-nighters, and I used the cost saving measures in the above message so think I only paid the Hilton fee once. Based on how the staff run things I can see how if you left the car in the car park for the whole stay you would only get charged once, but as it suggests
here that is effectively just paying the overstay "fine". If you take the car out and return you'll pay more.
Generally parking in Bath is hard work. It was when I lived there 25 years ago, and its worse now. I'd just go with the hotel offer.
I haven't stayed there for a couple of years, but found the Diamond treatment poor overall, and declining during my stays.
No great views really. River side is a bit nicer to look down on, unless you like people watching in which case other side can be fun. Plenty of passers-by at all hours.

Great city though, so enjoy your trip.
