Another AP holder question: which parking option?

[holcomb-mania]

Should I choose:

1. Free self-parking?
2. Pay for 2 hrs of valet with balance free?
3. $4 pfd parking?


We used a car service last trip, so I have no frame of reference for choosing.

Thanks!

Either valet or free parking. The $5 (not $4 anymore) for preferred parking is not a good deal IMO. It only guarantees you parking on level 3 so you don't take an escalator. But your parking lot may be very far away and still be on the 3rd level.

I could be wrong, but I thought the preferred parking at USO is $5.

We only used that option once. And where we had to park was no better than where we often park. I think parking at USO is really the luck of the draw.

USO preferred parking is nothing like the preferred parking at USH. There we used it and truly were parked right out front of the entrance.

You are correct and it's not a very good way to spend $5...I used to park in Preferred but not anymore. It's just waste of $$$.

I remember being very disappointed at what is called "preferred parking," which, as a previous poster observed, only gets you on the main level.

We're just back from a week at USO/IOA and used valet parking with the passholder discount ($9 + gratuity). We feel it was definitely "the way to go."

Yeah, my little AP holder says $4, and I saw on the website that it's $5 now. The merchandise and food discounts have gone down to 10% now, too.

I would definitely go for free parking, one of the big plus's of being AP holders.

I too will not get the preferred parking again, what a rip! Yeah, it was only $4 at the time, but it was the principle that got me a little perturbed. We had a better spot without it the next day. But I guess if the sign said "Preferred Parking, but you might get a better spot and save $5" not to many people would do it
