Compared to park & fly, I have gotten much better rates by booking a hotel via Hotwire and then parking at Avistar. To get the best Avistar rate, book them through www.airportparkinglots.com. You drop off and pick up your car inside the building...it's great! I can generally get the Candlewood Suites, which is on Manneheim Rd. a few blocks from Avistar, for $30-something via Hotwire. They don't tell you the name of the hotel in advance, but it's pretty easy to figure out which one is the Candlewood because of the suite amenities (microwave, laundry, etc.). Candlewood gives you a free soda and free movie rentals...it's great! We have done this twice now. The first time, Avistar was pretty crowded in the morning, so the second time, we dropped off the car the night before and te Avistar driver dropped us off at the hotel (Candlewood has a free shuttle to the airport that you can take in the morning).
