Additional thoughts after returning:
So, some pluses for friendliness. But they're one of the farthest out of the parking options, and they're not maintaining their equipment well. Should I have need for cheaper parking on a long trip next time, I'll try one of the others.
- Shuttle was waiting at Level 5 West side, which made me feel good...
- ...until I realized it was going to then head to the East side, so definitely a delay.
- This shuttle had a U-shaped arrangement of one long bench seat inside; still leather/pleather.
- Another friendly driver. Took each of us exactly to our car spots.
- Exiting the facility was a problem. The exit is not well marked at all. The exit kiosk took my e-mail QR Code OK, but then failed to issue a receipt after I pressed the button for one. Then, the "call for assistance" button was broken, directing me to a phone number to call while I'm at the exit kiosk. I gave up and drove off without a receipt. I'll have to monitor my CC statement to see exactly what they charged me, as the amount never even appeared on screen.

DEN Airport Parking
Any clue as to why the economy long term lots (Pikes Peak) are still not open at DEN. Seems ridiculous to have a 20$ gauge for the West parking situation.
I love the quote:
Due to low passenger traffic volumes, the following DEN parking options are closed:

It's April 2023, long after the last post.
Do any of you locals know a good option for extended DIA airport parking? I'll need a few weeks. RTD parking & travel is about $125 for me so I was wondering about a hotel maybe $100 or less that allows free extended parking with stay, and it would be nice to sleep nearer there for the night before the early flight and more convenient shuttle.

I question how much longer WallyPark will remain in existence. They no longer offer valet parking, the parking lot is riddled with deep potholes, and the shuttle busses' suspension are probably 200k miles past life expectancy. It does seem to be the preferred parking lot for Turo rentals.
They also got rid of the partial day rates. If you park for 25 hours, you're paying for two days. Not the biggest concern since I have a corporate rate of $12.60/day.
