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!

I always park at Ameripark except for last year when I got hooked up with other parking options. It's been 15 dollars a day in the past.

Do you pay in advance or when you leave? Or have to go back and pay each morning?

If it's an open lot you have to pay daily (and SUPER early or else you get towed). If it's a closed/secured lot, you can generally pay when you leave. However you need to check with how/when/where you pay because each one is different. I ended up paying a 'machine fee' because I used the auto-checkout instead of the guy in the pay-box.

The Ameripark lot is a pay when you leave.
