always baffles me how people would pay 100s per night for a hotel and then act like an extra 10 bucks to park is TOO FAR.
I'm always baffled by how cheap most parking is, outside of private garages for event spaces that are jacked up for suburbanites when they come into the city, that's the only time it seems expensive to me, and yet they are always full so clearly they aren't pricing it too high.
Where can I get hotel parking for 10?
I am happy when its only 50. I am seeing 100 at a lot of places now.
One particular hotel I was in recently had no other option, even though they had a car garage that was all by itself, in other words no one else was going to use it.
$85 a day. Stayed a week. No discounts for a weeks stay.
i've never paid more than 10-15 for hotel parking. but i'm not getting hotel rooms in dense urban cores as a tourist.
yeah if you are getting a hotel in manhattan or similar, you would expect to pay $50 a day or more. that's the same as it would be for any day-garage. where i live downtown parking is 75 a day, and that's still underpriced. you can park at a subway stop for $5 and take the subway into town if you don't want to pay downtime prices. or ride the commuter rail.
lots of tourists in my city book a room in the 'burbs and commute in, because it's cheaper. you want a premium experience, you pay premimum prices. downtown hotel rooms in my city are 350-500 a night, and more during peak travel weeks.
