NOTES ON PARKING AT THE SHERATON SPRINGFIELD MONARCH HOTEL
The Sheraton offers indoor parking on a first come, first served basis. If the Parking Garage under the Sheraton if full, there is additional
parking immediately across the street in a covered garage (not including the top floor) immediately adjacent to the hotel.
If you find the "underground" garage full, leave the covered entrance and take a right (it's a one way street- - you can only go right) onto Pynchon Street.
At the end of the street, you will see the entrance to the "I-91 South Garage," which is used by the Sheraton as their "overflow" garage.
There is a skywalk from that garage into the Sheraton!
