What are my options when it comes to hotel parking?

You have several options when it comes to hotel parking. You can valet park, which generally tends to be more expensive. You can self-park, which gives you a little bit of control over when and where you take your car out. You can park on the street outside a hotel, though this is maybe not such a great idea if you're in a big city. If you are in a city, however, my suggestion is that you ditch the car and rely on public transportation, because parking can be tremendously expensive. I had a hotel room in San Francisco last summer for $79 a night, but my parking was $49 a night. It pretty much wiped out the savings that I got. It was a four star hotel, and I knew it was going to be expensive to park going in. San Francisco's very expensive, but $49 seemed way over the top. As somebody who prides herself on being a budget traveler, that was really a mistake.
