Warrington Supercharger parking charges

ANPR would not even be raised here, like thousands of other parking with ANPR, if it wasn't the SC site...
Must admit I've found a Supercharger at a hotel really handy...park up, start charging, check in, unpack, then it's time to nip out and move the car. But, fairly sure there were other cars coming and going just to charge without having to go and register at reception, which is the difference here.
Must admit many years ago I did car share to work for a while and a car was stashed in this very car park, so can understand why they would want to prevent it.
So what's the solution ? It's clearly not great to be routed to a charger where you could get stiffed with a fine if you miss a tiny sign. Maybe :-
- the car needs an option to route by unrestricted chargers only
- the on-screen info needs to alert you - would be a bit concerned about the safety aspect of reading this whilst you're driving up the M6 though
- the hotel could give you an hour's grace - would cover most charges and would deter anyone mis-using the car park for any length of time, is this too much to ask ?

That info should be in the information about a site - just click on it when you arrive to find if there are any restrictions.
That said this info is not available on the Web Supercharger map (for 3 sites with restrictions that I checked) ... so I'm not sure if it is on dashboard SatNav ... but I have seen it in SatNav for sites in the past.
If tesla were clever the car could auto-register with the site the moment you plugged in... but simplest would be the hotel having an hours grace period.
I tend to go to burtonwood if I'm up that way because warrington is a small SC around the back of the hotel & less likely to be available.

It will be the car parking payment companies that would be the problem. APPs that make the EV charging APPs look bad ...

Thank you and the other responders. I have just completed ABRP simulation for a May road trip which has me charging at Warrington at about 17:30 on the way to L'pool.
So, not a pretty sight I'm thinking
.Maybe back to the drawing board

Try allowing non-Supercharger chargers in ABRP? I don't know the area, but there might be other good choices (and might be faster than Tesla chargers ...)
I'd also check Plugshare and Zap-Map for user-comments to see if there has been recent unreliability at a site.

Yep. Only supercharger I’ve given up on. Teslas were queued out the car park - it was 5pm on a Friday a few days after Xmas though. Came back the next morning at 8am which was only a short drive and got awful charge rate.Thank you and the other responders.

Is there any way you can pedal/push/roll to get to Burtonwood ? It's on the M62, north of Warrington rather than South, but on the route into Liverpool (unless you're coming from Chester or North Wales).
