Is there public parking? And is it safe around there?

Parking at Pershing Square is only 7 dollars. I usually park there and walk to the Regent. There are lots of people around and it is safe.

There's a parking lot across the street. I believe it's $20. Pretty safe if you're just crossing the street. Just make sure you look both ways before crossing.

Yes but you can pay at a lot Across the way for fifteen dollars when you park in the afternoon after 5 pm and the Regent has security. There is a lot of homeless but it seemed pretty safe.

Depending on the night you can park in a business structure or a lot for 15$.. drive friendly
