[QUOTE="WizO_Pounamu, post: 2564949"] TMP does [b]not[/b] have its own off-street parking. Although there is an alleyway down the side, that is a loading area (no parking there). I remember we went over this during the pre-creation discussions, when we were trying to pin down the location. Suggestions at the time were that there may be a new hotel (one that doesn't exist currently) somewhere nearby which may have a couple of levels of carparks available for public use pay-per-hour) or there may be a parking lot a block or few away.
