drbeanz Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I got a priceline $50 bonus coupon (the one for PRICELINE's twitter event) to spend for hotel booking this time, 5/17-5/21.Use PRICELINE link here as usual4* @ $50 - rejected4* @ $55 - accepted..............The Westin MinneapolisI got at the same price as beejay from the other thread.Anyone know how much Westin charge for parking per day? I'm driving there from Iowa. Or any affordable recommendation to park overnight in downtown Minneapolis?Thanks for all information from the site anyway, good luck for others. Link to comment

lindisfarne Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 You're going to pay through the nose to park in downtown Minneapolis - meters are enforced in many DT areas on Sundays and until 10 pm on other days. You could park somewhere along the light rail line (further out is better for your car) and take that in (I'm not sure how close the Westin is to that line) or even, take Nicollet south and after you get south of about 40th Street, you could park in an ok neighborhood (not great - don't leave anything of value sitting in your car). Just read the signs carefully. There's a bus that goes down Nicollet that will get you back into town. (In the area around Hennepin, the parking is much more restricted and permit controlled). You might find parking on the north side of the Stone Arch bridge that's free on Sat and Sun - I've parked there but not overnight - it's kind of isolated so your car might be ok but might not.

drbeanz Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks for all info.I'd decide to try the hotel parking for safety purposes even though a bit expensive. I'm going to drive a rental and want to save time for sightseeing and shopping. Link to comment
