Best Value parking is located in our Park Plaza Center at the Hyatt Regency Hotel adjacent to the Training Center. We have a negotiated rate of $6 per

behind the Hyatt Regency Hotel and signs are posted showing where to access self-parking. Once in the lot, proceed to the far left side of the
self-parking lot farthest from the hotel as this will put you closer to SAS in Building 5.
