| HELP: Seattle overnight parking?
anybody ever been to seattle would know that parking is a pain when you stay overnight at a hotel in downtown especially.
i'm looking to stay at the pan pacific hotel in downtown and they are charging $35 for valet + unlimited in and outs, which is a ridiculous price i think.
so what i'm really trying to ask is if anybody knows anywhere that offers overnight parking at a reasonable price and is a somewhat safe/nearby location or if you guys have any other suggestions.
thanks.

Most parking lots downtown cost around $28-$34
I usually just park at Grand Hyatt parking lot for $28/night cause I usually stay there when I'm in Seattle.
There's also Pacific Place mall parking but that's still $26.

so the parking lots downtown that range from 28-34 are overnight parking spots? cause if i could find a $24 parking lot overnight i'd much rather go with that + walk around than pay $35 at the pan pacific with in n outs.

Valet is usually $35-$40 but includes in/out privileges.
Park at either one of the Hyatts in downtown Seattle and you'll be fine because they're right on the main strip.

I agree with ch28, if you're willing to shell out the money, get valet at a nice hotel.

fair enough, sounds like the recommendations are leaning towards staying in the hotel. i'm stayin at the pan pacific and the valet is $35 with in and out priviledges.. might as well go with that.
thanks for your suggestions.

I don't know the proper etiquette for valet tipping but personally, I only ever tip when I'm on personal travel - at the moment of check in and check out. On business, I never tip unless the service was exceptional.

thanks. | if you have a hyatt passport, and stay at the OLIVE8, you get free valet.
as for tipping. $1-$2. more if they unload/load your bags.
always call down as your getting ready, so that your car is there. i feel like valet is useless if you have to stand in the lobby and wait.
