I had a rental car booked for our 4 night stay here but after checking the $35 + tax parking rate and the fact that we may not even use it for a couple of days while we explore the downtown and nearby areas, I cancelled it and will use Uber/Lyft. However I do see that there is a Hertz counter in the hotel itself and may likely take a car for a day if needed to explore areas further away.

My question (to anyone who has used the Hertz car rental) is whether this location allows after hours returns. In other words I could pick up the car at 8.30 am and bring it back in the evening after the rental desk closes and simply park it in the designated Hertz spots thereby avoiding the parking charge. Any experiences? I am also a Hertz 5 star, if that matters in any way.
