I always marvel that people think parking in a major city is over priced and in most cases should be included in the room price. Considering one is paying $300+ for a 400+ sqft room, and a car occupies perhaps 60 sqft, parking charges are not out of line. If one is local and leaving a car for the weekend, why not just take a cab to the hotel, it's going to be cheaper. Same goes if just flying into the city and renting a car: take taxis and save money!
