Accommodation with parking

I have recently booked accommodation for 8 nights on Booking.com where for the property I booked it says:
Most guests want these - this property has them all
Parking; Free WiFi; Airport shuttle; Family rooms; Pets allowed; Non-smoking rooms
As we will have a car this accommodation looked ideal. Having booked it (it is a non-refundable booking) I have found out that the apartment does not have its own parking but public pay parking is available either on the street or a car park (15 Euros per day)
So yes, parking is available but I don't think they should promote it when I would think over 99% of places advertised on the site would have its own parking or parking available somewhere nearby - either free or with parking fees.
I now have no choice but to pay for public parking and have learnt my lesson in that I should check out what is actually meant in peoples advertising before making any bookings. So no need for anyone to reply saying this!!

Thanks. I realised that after booking. My fault for not checking all the details beforehand but they appeared to be making a big deal out of parking by mentioning it first - you can see the page here>https://www.booking.com/hotel/it/casa-d-39-aria.en-gb.html?aid=340296;label=conf_email_print;sid=e499e7412288dfc8a6ec87de8d9bdc18
They're not making a big deal out of it. It's just a 'P'.The order of symbols is the same for every property because that's the way the site is set out.
Surely you read the rest of the info on that page, including the apartment policies, terms and conditions and important information?
But looking at other apartments in same city they don't say they have parking. I think that properties should only say they have parking if the parking belongs to them and is available to guests. Also, being in a very congested city it is possible that no parking will be available at certain times.
The ones that really annoy me are when they advertise as having disabled facilities, or a lift, or are all on one floor, and you turn up and they lied.
My favourite through booking.com was when the address didn't even exist.
What you think isn't relevant. The details of what/where the parking is are all there. You chose not to read them, or presumably the important details pertaining to the apartment you were booking. Plenty of other apartments also state they have parking.
