Parking tips and alternatives
Because only valet parking is available on-site and space is limited, plan ahead if you have a vehicle — especially a taller or oversized vehicle.
If you prefer to self-park or want a potentially lower daily rate, ask the front desk for nearby garages or surface lots; they can direct you to local public parking options.
- Confirm the height of your vehicle vs. the 6'10" limit before arrival
- If you need repeated access to your car, verify in-and-out privileges with valet on arrival
- For long-term parking or lower rates, request directions to nearby self-parking garages
| Situation | Recommended action |
|---|---|
| Tall/oversized vehicle | Notify hotel in advance; on-site accommodations are limited |
| Need to come and go frequently | Use valet — in-and-out privileges are included |
| Prefer self-park | Ask staff for nearby public garages and rates |
