If you are talking about North America, then that might be true. But a lot of other countries have extensive train systems where even ruraler places are well connected. Add hotels close to bike trails and you’ve got two two examples of people not necessarily arriving by car.
Trouble with trains is you’d likely have to take multiple trains (unless heading to a major city) with a bunch of luggage. I find it easier to drive, my car could easily fit an entire family’s luggage and it’s not even an SUV. So can a rental if I’m going multiple countries away and therefore flying. On a train I’d just be a hindrance to everyone else with a luggage and a toddler that’s got the energy levels of a thermonuclear bomb.
If I’m paying for your train (via taxes), you can pay for my parking (via an extra euro per day in your hotel cost).
It’s a hotel, most people would arrive by car unless it’s downtown in a big city (good case for paid parking)
