Candy Cane: late night parking a problem?

[jenjersnap]

I have read sporadic reviews that mentioned not being able to find parking at CCI in the evenings. We are not arriving until 11:30 pm and the hotel is completely sold out. Called them to ask what their parking alternatives are if no spots are available and they said "they would have security deal with it". Well, I don't want to deal with it at 11:30, LOL, we want to get to bed to make rope drop the next morning. Based on web comments, it sounds like parking in a red zone or some other non-designated space might be security's solution and I am not sure I would feel comfortable putting a rental car there.

So, if you have stayed there, especially during busy times, can you share your evening parking experiences good or bad?

We had positively decided on CCI but I keep having regrets about not returning to Hojo's because I know what we are getting there (a nice, big parking lot, for one!).

We have arrived late and always managed to get a spot. But I did notice cars parked in their parking lot in a red zone. I do not think it would be a problem and you can move it to a spot in the morning.

We stayed at CCI Jan 15th-19th... it was the star wars half marathon and it was a 3 day weekend for most. We arrived late on the 15th around 11pm and there was plenty of parking. Through out my stay there that weekend I noted that there were still spots open.

As long as you have a tag in your window so they know you are a guest you are fine. Some people complain if they can't park right in front of their room. I have gone at busy times and yes you do have to park 5 to 10 spots away sometimes.

I guess it depends on what you are used to. If I park within 2 blocks of my house I feel I hit the jackpot.

Oh yes, I just want a legitimate parking space...it doesn't have to be near our room at all. This is encouraging, thanks so much!
