Valet Olympics

Recently, Ace Parking held its first ever Valet Olympics competition at the Hilton Bayfront. Ace Parking’s San Diego based hotel valets competed against each other to show off who was the most skilled group of valets. The event was organized by Ace Parking’s Sasha Bradley and Mike Wilson in an effort to create a fun, competitive challenge for Ace’s valets. “We wanted to hold an event that was fun but also challenging for our valets, which prompted them to really step up their game,” said Sasha Bradley, Director of Operations for Ace Parking’s Hotel Division.
As a result, valets were met by challenges that tested both wit and physical abilities through relay races, automobile obstacle courses, timed ticket rate calculations and memory/organization by hanging fifty key tags sitting in a bucket in numerical order as well reciting Ace Parking’s mission statement from memory. Ace Parking’s Valet Olympics are a slightly modified version of the National Valet Parking Associations annual version and proved to be a fun success for all who participated assuring the event will be coming back again next year.

Hotel Division wakes up early!

Ace Parking is a 24 hour operation, which means we have graveyard shift employees! Our Hotel Division thought those individuals should be rewarded! They woke up extra early to say “thank you” at 5:30am with breakfast burritos, juice and coffee!

How to Ensure Your Sporting Event Runs Smoothly

While baseball holds the title as America’s favorite pastime, all sports get their fair share of love and attention here in the United States. Football, basketball, golf, and tennis—these are just a few of the games American’s watch, cheer for, and wait each year to see. Nothing beats seeing your favorite team take on their rivals right in front of your eyes. That’s why so many people love going out to the ballgame.

Attending a sporting event is always fun and exciting, but we tend to neglect how much effort is put into it. When you are planning a sporting event, you have to take every single detail into consideration in order to achieve the perfect environment for an exhilarating game. Careful planning and hard work can ensure that your sporting event runs smoothly. These tips will help you plan your event and make sure everyone has a great time:

  • Create a planning team. Having more people with you means you can assign tasks to everyone. This will help you organize the event more efficiently and will also help to save time when planning.
  • Communicate with coaches and teams. Whether you are planning a professional sporting event or a college game, you will want to make sure that you are constantly checking in with the coach or team representative. This will ensure that everyone is up-to-date on scheduling and location.
  • Organize the parking situation. The guests and fans coming to the event will appreciate having an organized parking system that allows them to quickly and easily find a spot and quickly exit the game. Hiring a parking management team ensures a smooth flow of visitors into the field or stadium.

At Ace Parking, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail when it comes to event parking. We have experience at facilities such as the Goodyear Ballpark and Qualcomm Stadium, so your parking will be in good hands. We also specialize in valet, airport, and hotel parking.

Get the Best Parking Spot with a Few Tips

Bill Hanks who is a Yahoo! contributor has published an article on Associatedcontent.com about getting the best parking spots in parking garages.

A portion of the article says,

“We have all looked for that good parking place for one reason or another. Many individuals, with and without handicaps, always get the prime parking spots. However, how does one get the next best place? Some individuals have prime parking spots written into their contracts. Some businesses will pay extra to keep certain spots reserved for their business. If a business owns the garage, they are always going to get the best accessible spots. Some garages work on a first come first served basis. Others may charge extra for a better spot.

If you are a one time visitor, just ask the garage attendant for the best possible space. Explain your situation. In some cases, they might allow you to park closer to your destination. If you are a regular customer, try to establish a communication relationship with the attendant.

A simple smile and hello will get you started. Keep your conversation brief. Treat the individual with respect. After they get to know you, after a few visits, ask them how you would go about getting a better place to park. Always have a legitimate reason, why you need a closer location.”

For parking areas in San Diego, take time and look at Ace Parking. They have been around for 60 years and focus on commercial, airport, hotels, resort, and valet parking.
