7. We read a lot about the problems with valet parking (cost, delays, other issues) so we decided to park ourselves across the street because we could when we checked in - this worked out more or less okay for the two nights but you need to know that parking starts early (like 8 am) and off Collins is maximum 6 hours whereas on Collins is only 2 or 3 hours, so take one of those sweet parking spots next to the Walgreens off Collins right across from the hotel.
