Parking garage issues

[morganskye.livejournal.com]

Does anyone remember which garages hike their prices up for D*C? Last year I parked in the open lot beside the Marriott, which was a HUGE mistake. They went from $10 a day to $20 for 'event parking'. What other lots do this? I was thinking of parking at the covered one at 60 John Wesley Dobbs Avenue. It seems to have the best rate and it's not immediately at a hotel. Has anyone parked here before? It's about 2 blocks from the Westin (where I'm staying) and three from the Marriott.

To make it easier I guess I should ask where I shouldn't park instead of where I should. lol! Thanks!

Thanks for bringing this up. I am at the Westin also. At the Westin valet parking is $26 per day and self parking is $22 per day. I will have to check out that lot you mentioned on JWD and see how much it is. If it not much different per day, I may still try to afford parking at the hotel.

Their site claims it's $8 a day, however I have no idea if they're going to pull the same 'event parking' shenanigans that LAZ does. If so I'd rather part at the hotel.

Everyone raises prices for the event weekend. That $8 a day is for days when nothing important is happening.

Note for Westin Parking if you are staying over your check out time the rate there was like 8 dollars for every 15 minutes after your 24 hours, so say you checked in at 3pm in the parking lot but checked out and left at 5pm be prepared to pay an extra day of parking. So in stead of paying for 3 days you end up paying for 4 days.
