Parking?

[srd5090]

So I'm not going to be staying at the hotel as I don't live very far away from the area.

Problem is, I'm not sure where I can park. I would assume I could park at the hotel but I may have to pay for it. I would hope they would let you pay to park there if you are attending an event, though you aren't staying there.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

Parking at the hotel is paid parking. Unfortunately its very rare in the Seattle area to find hotel space that works with what we need from a convention hotel and has adequate free parking. It is quite common for large hotels to charge for parking especially when located in city centers and near airports.

And should the hotel lot fill up, there's no shortage of paid parking nearby. The area is riddled with pay lots, given the proximity to the airport.

How does the hotel parking work? I'm thinking of arriving early afternoon, then driving over to the Kyle's thing. Is it paid parking each time you bring the car in, or do you pay a daily rate along with your room?

Thanks Vic and Sara, I guess I'll be trying to park in the hotel lot. As long as they are willing to let me park there as a non-guest. Well, not a "sleeping over" guest.

I had a similar question and found this info on the Marriott website (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/maps/travel/seawa-seattle-airport-marriott/ ):

Parking
On-site parking, fee: 19 USD daily
Valet parking, fee: 24 USD daily

Hope this helps,
Kyle

Thanks! But, yikes.

Yikes indeed. I'm gonna splurge for the Valet... Jk

What I don't understand is, why would you pay to park a Valet? I need to park my car. :)

Not that it is currently an issue, but reviews from the past have mentioned that overnight parking has had some break-in problems. Just a tip, better safe than sorry.

from the PaizoCon faq:

evidently there is a NON-overnight parking rate of $8/day, as well.

D'oh! Good to know! That is a huge relief actually. I'll just have to make sure it's known I'm not staying the night in case games run late.

Bear in mind I wrote that FAQ several months ago. Hopefully it's still accurate :)

On the off chance the hotel lot is full, the Clarion Inn 1 block west of the Marriott (towards the airport) has overnight "airport parking" for 7.95 a day.

In addition, if you don't mind walking about 4-5 blocks, there is neighborhood parking available just off 176th St. east (away from the airport) from the hotel.
