Austin downtown overnight parking
Staying in JW Austin over the weekend. Their parking rates are an exorbitant $30/nt! I will not be driving in the city however, might need some access to it for a day trip nearby.
I looked online and it seems some garages don't allow overnite parking. Any suggestions would be much apprecited!
Thanks!

So long as there's nothing going on there (major services, weddings, etc.) it is a very viable alternative.
I had absolutely no issues, and $10 was a great price.
I'd offer that you could park at my house, but I live a distance away...without traffic about a half hour from downtown.
But let me know if you need help with anything else.

For a meeting downtown a few months ago, I used the St David's garage:

What is the metered parking scene in Austin? I see 12hr/18hr meters. Are they allowed for overnight parking? Any free street parking on weekends?

it's actually gotten better, i think streets in austin were metered until 0300 on fri and sat. there are ways to pay on your phone, look it up.
just find a garage nearby. it'll be cheaper. google maps, street view, etcetc
