Any other option, besides the C$ 26 a night valet ?

20 minutes: $3.25 + Tax
One hour: $9.75 + Tax
Up to 12 hours: $20.00 + Tax

Outdoor Self Parking is located behind the hotel on Belmont Street and is operated by a private company. DAY Rates are $13.00 per day (arriving at 6:00 a.m. and departing at 6:00 p.m.). Overnight rates are negotiated with Parking attendant. The hotel does not recommend this parking to guests that are staying overnight, as the lot is located offsite and outdoors.

Thanks for the info, but does it mean the hotel is in a bad neighbourhood ?!

The hotel is a fine neighbourhood, right downtown in the business district.
I guess the precaution, though, it's a large city, and an unguarded outdoor parking lot, that sort of thing.

I have always used their valet service. For a large city, C$26 is not that bad a deal, I think. And they are pretty good service, too. When you get your car, it's right underneath the hotel, so you don't need to get out....

What is a proper amount to tip the valet each time? Do people tip on the way and on the way out? Sorry, don't often use valet parking, and therefore I am not up on how this is done... Thanks.

I have no clue what the rules are. I usually tip the person a couple dollars when I leave the car -- this is usually a Fairmont doorman, who often helps with luggage. If the person is particularly welcoming and stuff, maybe a bit more. And similar when I leave. But it all depends on the service and service attitude, at least for me. The valet parking folks at QEH are very nice (actually, come to think of it, at every Fairmont I've been), so I generally feel good about tipping them a bit more. As for "rules," I really don't know... I figure, it's my money, so I'll use my own rules :)
