Parking Information

Liberty Center Garage (underneath the Westin)

Self Park (for guests staying at the Westin):

Anthrocon has negotiated for its members parking for a $10 flat fee per 24 hour period. This garage has a clearance of 7'4". NEWS FLASH!! We have just received word that ownership of the parking garage beneath the Westin has changed. The new management is not offering any discount for hotel guests.

Other parking

With all of these options, we should have more parking than we will ever need; of course, we have said that before about convention space, and look where it has gotten us. Just in case, Smallman Street has numerous other parking lots and garages located along its length. They vary in price and availability.

Important note: ALL prices are subject to change without notice! Anthrocon will try its best to keep on top of any rate changes and announce them here, but neither endorses nor makes any claims regarding the price, quality or availability of parking at or around the hotel. We strongly advise you to confirm the rates when you arrive, and also to confirm the hours when your vehicle will be available to you. It is up to you to judge the security of any individual location. Our attendees are advised that parking anywhere other than a garage will be at their own risk.
