We have a special arrangement with Leslie University and the Episcopal Divinity School to use a small parking lot near the hotel. Simply download and print this permit (Parking Permit Journey) and place it on your dashboard. If you forget to print it, we will have some extra ones on Sundays. In the future, we will probably give preference to first time visitors, the elderly, and families with young children, but for now, anyone can park there. Simply turn down Berkeley St. on the west side of the Sheraton Commander, take your second right onto Philips Place Road, and then veer left at the “Y” onto St. Johns Road. The parking lot will be on your left just as you take the “Y.” They refer to it as “Parking Lot Q.”
If the lot is full, there is also street parking around the Commander on these streets: All along Garden and also on Berkeley, Phillips Place, Brattle, Appian Way and Mason St. On Sundays, you can park at meters without paying or in places where you normally need a residential permit. The Commander has also extended a special rate to those attending Journey Church. You can park in their lot and it’s $10.00 compared to the usual of rate of $28.00. Lastly, you can park at the Charles Hotel Garage (One Bennett Sreet, coupon available, call 617.491.0298 for current rates) or the University Place Garage (617.491.0801).
