Anyway, to answer today's question, yes, I still like the Ramada and also Priority Parking. Lately I have parked several times at Colonial Parking, directly across the street from Priority--it's cheaper, although no car wash and no valet parking.

One note: the reason that I've had to use Colonial several times in the last few months is that upon driving to the lots, I have found both the Ramada and Priority to be FULL. These are huge lots, esp. the Ramada, and it must say something about the regional economy if these guys are at 100% capacity utilization. Anyway, beware of the "Lot Full" sign, and build in some extra time for driving up and down the Essington main drag in case you find yourself locked out of your first and second choices.
If I was in a hotel lot or public lot, what would my option be - none but pay it myself since I would have a $500 deductible and an insurance claim on my policy. Winner assumed responsibility and left me whole. At a couple of additional bucks a day, small price to pay when the valet service is added. My wife's attitude was "I will never park there again" until I explained my logic.
