Parking Update -- 3 Conference Hotels
Raleigh Marriott HotelThe Raleigh Marriott provides one parking space per guest room complimentary. Above is a map showing the location of the Marriott – the star represents the hotel, which is on Fayetteville Street (the map does not however say Fayettville Street).
Guests using the complimentary parking MUST use valet parking.
The self parking deck is managed by another company and will not accept the complimentary parking pass. If guests choose to self-park instead the fees are $12 overnight per car, and the self parking deck is on Lenoir Street right around the corner from the main entrance. Guests will be coming from Lenoir onto Fayetteville Street to get to the main entrance – which is where valet parking is. When guests check-in at the Marriott they should valet park on arrival, and they will be given their complimentary parking coupons, enough coupons will be given to guests to cover however many nights they are staying. Guests should give the valet attendant the coupon when they retrieve their cars.
If choosing self-parking guests may park their cars for a short time in front of the hotel, check-in, and then self park their car around the corner.
Raleigh Sheraton Hotel
The Sheraton hotel gives one complimentary parking space per guest room. Parking is self-parking only, no valet parking is available. The attachment shows directions to the self-parking lots.
New Clarion Hotel
Each guest will receive a parking pass to park in their attached garage upon arrival. The address is 320 Hillsborough – the entrance of the hotel goes right into the parking garage. Self-parking only, no valet parking available. Guest must NOT park in the gravel lot to the right of the building – this does not belong to the Clarion. Anyone with vehicles too large to park in the garage can park in their overflow lot (not covered), which is adjacent to the back of the hotel.

Though the maps may indicate Lenoir and some other streets are one-way. Upon the completion of the Convention Center, they have changed their status in that area.
Hello. Thanks for the clarifications. Since checkout time is noon for the Marriott. And free parking is only via "valet parking" do you know where we stash our "loot" and suitcase on Saturday? Or will our vehicles be close enough to place those items in the trunk while we attend the conference.
That is a great question and we don't know the answer. Since free parking is not normally something they offer guests and it's a special part of the NGS contract, we're a little unsure of some of the details.
As you can imagine, the planning committee is trying to finalize lots of last minute details.
Maybe you can call the hotel and then report back what you learn about this! I'm sure others would appreciate the intel!
Could we have your insight into day parking for local attendees? Is there per day pricing? On a day when we might have to come and go, is there per hour pricing? What is the range of those prices?
Also, I drive a van and require minimum 7 foot clearance. Does all available parking meet this requirement?
Please check out the other "general" posting on parking (http://www.ncgenealogy.org/blogs/ngs2009/2009/03/parking-in-downtown-raleigh.html) and the short answer is that for the "city" run lots, you pay by the hour with a daily maximum (when you keep your car parked).
As far as the height of these decks, I have not found any information regarding that. You might try contacting the management company, McLaurin (http://www.mclaurinparking.com/) to see if they can help with that question.
