Question

Is there parking at the welcome party?

Answer

There is no on-site parking at the welcome party, however, one of the reasons we chose Porta is because it is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel! If needed, street parking is available in the surrounding area, and there are several nearby parking garages.

Question

Is there transportation from the hotel to and from the venue?

Answer

Yes! We’ve arranged a 50-person party bus to transport guests from the Residence Inn to the venue. The bus will make one trip to the venue, so if it fills up, we recommend using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. After the reception, the party bus will make as many return trips as needed back to the hotel.
