I'm told the hilton has reinstated it's lower price for rooms until June 15th. Too late for me, but hopefully this will help some. Does anyone know about cheaper parking near the hotel? I found one lot that's cheaper until June 30th, but then it's as high as the hotel.

Mona, I moved your post to this section because it is about hotels & lodging, so it should go here. I chose a subject title for it, but if you want something different, let me know.

Speaking of which, how close is the official hotel to the convention center? Is it within walking distance, or should I budget for cabs/buses for the week?

I read somewhere that it was connected to the convention center. I suppose I could look it up, but my research urge is low at the moment.

I live about 15 minutes from the convention center and I am generally familiar with the area. I will try to investigate over the weekend and see what I can find out.

Check the Ritz parking garage on 2nd Street between Chestnut Street and Walnut Street. They charge $18 for 24 hours of parking no matter when you park your car. You may want to see if someone can give you a ride back to the hotel -- the guy in the last car can walk.
Most parking lots in this area quote a day rate, but will charge you for 2 days -- 24 hours, beware! The rates appear to run from $17 to $25 a day.

Do you know how much a taxi costs on average in the city? Is there public transport available that I can use a-la-carte, or will I need to get some sort of city bus pass if I want to take the bus to/from the hotel?
