Step1: Calculate total cost for Buxton Inn

The rate is $179.00 and taxes are $18.35. Since parking is free, total cost is $179.00 + $18.35 = $197.35.

Step2: Calculate total cost for Granville Inn

The rate is $149.00, taxes are $15.27, and parking fee is $5.00. So total cost is $149.00 + $15.27 + $5.00 = $169.27.

Subtract the total cost of Granville Inn from Buxton Inn: $197.35 - $169.27 = $28.08. Since Granville Inn has a lower total cost, it's the better deal.
