We all know that parking downtown is a real pain in the *ss. The only good parking can be had at the parking garage at the hotel. The rest is on the street with meters, or in a parking lot downtown. Why play that game? Leave your car parked! We encourage con-goers to take advantage of DART's park and ride service, which allows you to park in remote DART lots all over town and ride the bus or light rail directly to the hotel. Please be aware, though, that Light Rail service does not run between 12:30am to 3:45am or so, and most buses do not run past 10:30pm, so plan your late nights accordingly.

Want food, but the places around the hotel do not inspire you? Consider taking the Light Rail North (Red or Blue) to Mockingbird Station, or the Red Line North to Lovers Lane Station or Park Lane Station for food.

You can also ride the light rail, Red or Blue, south to the West End Station, and walk to the West End, a downtown Restaurant and Shopping area.

Your DART pass is also good for destinations all over Fort Worth. It takes 30-40 minutes to get to Fort Worth taking the TRE every day but Sunday.

Dart Park and Ride Lots

Dart park and ride lots are designated No Overnight Parking, however, in practice we know those who have parked all night with no harrassment or trouble from the Transit Police. These lots are generally not tow-enforced. However, DART takes no responsibility for theft or vandalism of your parked vehicle. Leave the car at your own risk.
