Directions

Embassy Suites and Crowne Plaza hotels provide transportation to and from the SAS training course. Please arrange this transportation through the front desk of the hotel. Students staying at the Hyatt may walk the short distance to the training center.

All three recommended hotels provide transportation to and from the Orange County John Wayne Airport. To request the service from Embassy or Crowne Plaza, please use the hotel courtesy phone located in the baggage clam area. For transportation to the Hyatt, please use the Hyatt Regency Irvine Airport Check-in Desk also located in the baggage clam area.

Parking is not included in the course fee and will not be validated at the Training Center.

Closest parking is available directly behind Building 5 in the parking structure at the rate of $18 per day. Students will need to enter and exit through the visitor entrance located near Coronado St.
All-Day Visitor parking is located on Level 1. If no space is available here, students should park on Level 2 or higher in any space not marked reserved.
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 day; inform the attendant at exit or payment that you are "taking a class at SAS" to get this rate. The uncovered self-parking lot is located directly 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.
Guests who may be staying overnight at this hotel may be subject to a different parking rate.
