Parking Information
Parking is a very scarce commodity in the area around the Sheraton.
Here's a brief overview of what is available, where and
when it is free, and alternatives.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (as of 2/2/2012)
The Sheraton parking garage charges
for parking (see rates below) and has a height limit of 6'9"
(i.e. no motorhomes/tall vans, etc).
- Self Parking: $15/day
- Valet Parking: $19/day
HEIGHT RESTRICTION:
This hotel cannot accommodate vehicles that are taller than 6'9" (i.e. no motorhomes/tall vans, etc).
NOTE: The hotel does *not* own the parking garage, and has no
control over the pricing.
The garage is owned by Crown Center.
Any rumors you hear over the weekend concerning the hotel garage
and free parking should be ignored.
The Crown Center parking garage on Pershing charges for parking on Thursday and Friday, but there is validation available from the Crown Center shops and restaurants. The Crown Center garage will be running as above with the rates posted below through 6 p.m. Friday, when the gates will go up and weekend parking rates go into effect.
Please confirm these rates before choosing to park there. Due to the Memorial Day Holiday, the Crown Center garage may remain open on Monday for those who are staying over Sunday night, but please confirm before choosing to park there. Crown Center parking garage rates (as posted on their website):
- 0 - 1/2 Hr: $3.50
- 1/2 - 1 Hr: $5.50
- 1 - 2 Hrs: $6.50
- 2 - 3 Hrs: $7.50
- 3 - 4 Hrs: $8.50
- 4 - 5 Hrs: $9.50
- 5 - 6 Hrs: $10.50
- 6 - 24 Hrs: $14.50
- Lost Ticket Charge: $14.50
Free Parking: Limited availability on-street parking on Pershing
between Grand and Main (some of the area is reserved for taxis,
and marked as such). Parking on Main south of Pershing is legal
after 6 p.m., on both sides of the street. Cars will need to be moved
from the northbound parking lane by 6 a.m. Friday. There is also street
parking in the residential area to the south of Children's Mercy
Hospital, east of the hotel off Gillham. This is somewhat farther
away from the hotel than Main.
NOTE: Crown Center will again host the "Jiggle Jam"
kids extravaganza on Saturday and Sunday, and parking in the area
will be at a premium. Once the festivities end in the early evening,
finding a parking place will become much easier if you decide to
leave and return. |
