The parking at the orchid is pretty liberal. Take a ticket (don't use your key), put it in the glove box, forget about it, drive out of the lot and the gate opens automatically - for EVERYBODY. It's really more an HONOR system than anything else. Unless you tell them you're parking in the lot nightly, there's no forced requirement to pay.
