NMC Managers Connect 2024 – St. John’s

The ALT Hotel has paid heated underground parking at the hotel with 86 spaces. It is available on a first come, first serve basis and rates are as follows:

• From 6 am to 6 pm: $3/hour (max. $15/day up to 6pm)
• From 6 pm to 6 am: $3/hour (max. $15/day up to 6pm)
• Overnight hotel guests: $15 for 24 hours

The parking garage is located at the back of the hotel, directly off Harbour Drive. When guests arrive, they will take a ticket from the kiosk to enter. The ticket can then be taken to the front desk if the charges are applied to the master account and the ticket swapped for a pass to exit. If guests are paying for their own parking, payment can be made at the automated booth prior to exiting. There are two levels of parking and no other information required. Note, there is a clearance of 6’2” in the garage; any vehicles larger than that can park in our oversized spaces outside. Parking is based on availability

There are many on-street metered parking spots around the hotel. Alternatively, the closest lot would be located at Atlantic Place (1 CLIFT’S – BAIRD’S COVE, ST. JOHN’S), about a 5-minute walk west of the hotel.
