Anime Boston parking

Valet Parking
Although valet parking is by far the easiest solution, it's also the most expensive. Valet parking is currently available to hotel guests at a charge of $32.00 per night. You can find the valet on the Columbus Avenue side of the hotel.

Alewife Garage
If you're on a tight budget, don't have too much to carry, and won't need your car until you leave, you may consider parking at the MBTA garage at Alewife (located at the intersection of Route 2 and Route 16). It's at the northwest end of the Red Line. Parking only costs $4.50 per day and a subway ride is $1 per person each way. It's about a 45 minute subway ride. (Don't worry, the T is safe...but it closes early at around 12:30 am each night.) Garage height clearance is 7'2".

Rates as of April 6, 2004:

Flat rate: $4.50 per day
Subway fare: $1.25 each

Riverside Lot
Like Alewife, this is outside the city at the end of the subway line. It's located at Exit 22 off of Route 128/I-95. From Riverside, you can take the Green Line's "D" train directly in to the Arlington stop. It also takes about 45 minutes, so leave yourself plenty of time...and make sure you get a "D - Riverside" train when you're headed back.
Parking here costs $2.75 per day (with a maximum of 7 days.) However, the subway fare is $2.50 per person (in coins or tokens) inbound, but just a $1 token on the return trip.

Rates as of April 6, 2004:

Flat rate: $2.75 per day
Subway fare: $3.00 per person inbound / $1.25 outbound
