? the surface lot is attached to the hotel--2 hotel doors open directly onto it. (and then part of it goes under the new ballroom wing, but that may be all valet.)

that said, it *is* a surface lot, and could probably be better lit... there's not much all behind the lot, and there were some trees hanging over causing some pretty deep shadows so yeah, i guess you might not want to go out there at 3 am by yourself...
