Currently staying at a hotel that is oversold on a holiday weekend. The hotel already has limited parking due to a funky layout, but decided to repave and repaint this weekend as well. Thus, some of the spots are blocked off. When some cars moved the cones and parked (since there were no other options and no workers present), the front desk agent said they'd have to move or risk being towed since the workers would need to paint. After confronting the worker about options, it seems like the only options were an office park with security or a shopping plaza, both which would risk being towed.

Clearly that's unacceptable, as is the fact the hotel didn't work out a plan in advance and communicate it to guests. I do pity the front desk worker who still had to figure out how to get some cars to move (they eventually did have a machine roll in to paint, why overnight at a place people sleep, IDK). But ultimately, the hotel should be responsible. What would you suggest be the right approach (I was lucky to eventually get a spot, but it was early and there were over a dozen already parked plus others to still arrive), at the least for future reference since it's sold out tomorrow night as well?
