Hello, I'm planning a first-ever trip to AC this year, and I checked the page on parking and searched the forums for a question I had on nearby places to park.

Specifically, about Westin's Liberty Center parking garage and the DLCC garage nearest to the convention center.

Are these full to capacity for the majority of the time during the con? Or are there certain periods during the con weekend where they might be full? I read in the parking section that the Liberty Center garage is undergoing renovations and might have space limited a bit during AC this year...

Thanks in advance...

get there as early as possible to guarantee a spot. thats what i have to do. i was also told that some of the parking garages outside of the hotels are cheaper and you'll save money.

This is indeed the case; if you're willing to hoof it a few blocks, there is cheaper parking available.

I've shown up Friday AM both times and had no problem getting into the DLCC garage (getting out was a problem last year due to a flaky credit card reader Sad

Last year I was even able to later move my car from the 2nd/3rd level down to the 1st right near the door Smiling

Do note this statement in the Parking FAQ, though:

Quote:
From April 1, 2008 to July 4, 2008, the Westin garage will be undergoing renovation. Parking will be limited and MAY NOT be available when you arrive. Please be prepared to seek alternative parking arrangements as detailed below.

And remember the hotel is booked solid on Wednesday June 25 by the group before us, so if you arrive early you may still be out of luck for the Westin garage, even if the renovations are finished ahead of schedule. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
