OT: d/m/v parking

hey chocolate city, i had a question about parking downtown.  got a great hotel rate in center of town but at $45 a night the hotel wouldn't be a bargain anymore.  does anybody know of a lot or site where parking is reasonable or free? or even something near a metro station.   any assistance appreciated.  thanks fam.  have a great weekend! 

Do you know where the hotel is located, so I can see which metro station it is near??

hey verne.   yes'm, roughly that is:   it'll be one of these five (won't know till this aft which):

M street on New Hampshire
Mayflower on Connecticut
Courtyard on Rhode Island
Courtyard on Vermont
Renaissance on F Street

i thot parking in manhattan was a grip.    cheaper to stay in Falls Church and take the train?

Ok, I dont, know your reason for coming here.  Do you just want to stay downtown DC or is it that your function is downtown dc and you trying to cut down on the driving??

Asking about parking  mean that you will have a car....with the traffic in DC and the one way streets that may confused the hell out of you, have you consider a hotel in VA or MD and then taking the metro to DC.  Most hotels away from DC have free parking,  The parking at the metro is $4.25  each time you exit the station, so if you are on the move, this too can be costly.  If I knew more of what you need, I may could help you more.  Feel free to hit me in pm if you need more one on one help.

it's too much right? LOL!   thanks gurl it's a pleasure trip but i'll explain behind the scenes

oooh, i just read something about 350 free parking spaces at East Pototmac Park /Hains Point.  do i stand a chance or is it the kinda spot that's always swamped?

Girl, stay somewhere in Bowie.  Park your car at the Bowie park and ride (it's FREE).  Jump on the bus at the park and ride and it will take  you to the New Carrolton train station.  From there, you can go all over DC, MD, and VA.  You can even take the train into Baltimore from the New Carrolton station.

Parking in DC is treacherous!!  I had my truck towed, booted, and I still have unpaid parking tickets.  

you'd never know it but i'm a planner, b already had it on lock, this last minute mess is HIS fault.  LOL.   thankya luvie, i'm lookin at the map right now.
