hotel parking
We have a different arrangement with each hotel for parking. Please read the parking information well before you go to a hotel job so that you are prepared. For Downtown hotels, leave extra time in case it is difficult to find parking or a lot is full. Padres game days and big conventions (ComicCon etc) can make parking tricky, and we always need to be on time.
If you find that the information below is inaccurate (even just a little bit off), please notify us right away by email or text so that we can update this page. Otherwise, we may not know, and the next caregiver may have the same experience. THANK YOU! 🖤
