HaHa bbchurch-

My SO is currently in Chicago at a conference (ACA, AAC,....I never remember those acronyms) and he just so happens to be staying at a Holiday Inn (there were only a few hotels to choose from in this downtown sector that were on the conference loop). His corporate rate per night is more than the rate at the RPH, plus he has to pay $20/day for parking. It is all valet, no regular parking, but come and go as much as you want.

Like with real estate, it's location location location.

Being from NY $6 a day is equal to FREE!

But I do understand T&B's concern. There are many more hotels in Orlando that do not charge than those that do. The resort level entities for the most part charge for parking. WDW's resorts charge enough to roll it into the room rate. The 3 stars and below usually do not. I guess it all depends on what you're going for. I've done 2 star trips and 5 star trips to Orlando and have to dole out more for the latter, which is not too often!

We did this. We used valet parking when we checked in and that night, we went out for dinner and then never used Valet again. Well, when we got our bill, they had charged us the valet charge for our whole stay so I disputed it at the front desk and she did a credit for me.

So the answer is yes, you can mix valet and self-parking BUT be sure that they are charging you correctly on your bill.
