Another Anime Convention 2013

Its been a while since i've been to Manchester. what does this Convention Center ( hotel) have for parking. is it like a garage or an open lot.

A parking garage is connected to the hotel.

Another stupid question: does anyone know the height?

Definitely not a stupid question. We would not like it if someone jammed their truck in the garage and closed the garage. Depending on if you need a vehicle there is always a bus station that is like 1 or 2 blocks away and you can get there from a few different cities. Another thing we should research and post for all our amazing attendees.

Thanks it would be helpful. That would ruin the weekend if my truck got jammed in there.

now this might be a silly question but is the parking free? I know some hotels charge for parking

There will be a charge, but if it is the same as last time, you will get a discount if you have a hotel room...

We are working on getting an exact cost for you all

Alright folks we checked out the hotel today and have some information for you.

First thing the parking garage is 4 levels. 1 of those levels is below ground level. Now I checked into the height and it is 7 feet. Now I did see pickups and SUVs in there and if need be you can off load you luggage in front of the lobby and then go park in the garage.

Prices we looked at as well but those might change come the summer so I will not be posting that.

It is a nice hotel and there is an ATM but there are also many banks very close to the hotel. I saw 2 different ones across the street from the hotel on either side. One was Bank of America the other was TD Bank. Ci was told there is a Citizens bank very close. As we all know any good Otaku must be able to access his/her money before hitting the vendor room or artist alley. I know I will be. . If you have any more questions p,ease ask and we shall answer them as best we can.

Thank you and see you all in October.

A short walk away there is also a St. Mary's bank next to a Dunkin Donuts

Thanks a bunch. as a 3/4 ton pickup driving otaku, going to cons with parking garages is a challenge. i just fit in the the parking garage for Anime Boston. this saves me a trip to Manchester

For larger vehicles you can park on the street (it is meter parking until 5pm) or arrange with the hotel to park in their employee lot.

There are also a couple of other parking garages in the city that are possibly quite a bit cheaper.

If you have someone who can shuttle you from your car to the hotel, a 5 minute drive away Catholic Medical Center has a garage that doesn't charge, nor have any kind of permitting system. It's a common place for residents to park during winter parking bans.

If they've changed their policies though, I can't be held accountable :-p

Prices for parking are currently as follows:

Overnight guests of the hotel: $10/per night
Event rate for day guests for the Expo Center: $5/per day (no overnight parking)
Standard garage rate (non-event): ~$30/per 24hrs

All rate are subject to change and I'll stay on top of it.
