What does it mean about the cost of parking

Well be mindful that this hotel in the downtown area of Atlanta so parking is not free in most places except if you get lucky. To park at the hotel we paid $28/ night. There maybe some other parking decks that charge less or charge more

There is a $30 charge to park.

Valet parking is $36 per night. Self parking is $28 but has a limited number of spaces. Self parking is at the back NE corner of the hotel.

To add to the other helpful responses, there is a valet option which costs a little more than the self park option.
