Plenty of Complimentary Parking is available for event attendees at the hotel. We recommend parking on the Kirby Drive side of the hotel as there is NO event entrance on the other side (attendees would have to walk to the main hotel lobby).

There is overflow parking in the hotel's GREEN LOT.

Once parked, enter via the HERITAGE CENTER entrance off Kirby Drive.

See parking and entry map here.
