The Sheraton has a garage you can park in (i think they charge), not sure about other areas.

I was there last year. It was nice. I parked in the connected lot (for a fee). GPS route to shul was too long. I used a more direct route.

I stayed there , was just ok. Why would you spent so many points when you can stay at the revel for very cheap which is 10 times nicer. Now if you're going on the weekend then I hear you.
