Parking garage issues

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!

What MARTA station (with overnight parking) is the closest to the Marriott if I'm coming from FL? I've heard great things about the Lindbergh Station, but that's waaaaay out of the way, and knowing my luck, I'd get lost...
Or would I be better off and budget more for parking and find an overnight self-park garage in the city? I'll be carpooling w/ a few friends so the price'll be split between us.

Well, if you drop off your stuff first, then it shouldn't matter much where you came from.

I prefer Lindbergh because it's relatively close, safe, and has a deck. You just take one Southbound train to get back to Peachtree Center Station. The only other close MARTA parking that allows overnight parking is College Park Station. It's the same price as Lindbergh, about the same distance, but not as safe.
