Room, tax, and parking charges (if applicable) will be billed directly to SPR. You will need to provide a credit card at check-in for any incidentals. Hotel confirmations were sent directly from the hotel. Please contact Kelly if you did not receive your confirmation or if you have any questions or changes with your reservation.
Parking at The Westin
Daily and overnight discounted valet parking is available at the Westin. Parking charges will be added to our direct bill and paid for by SPR. Please make sure to let the hotel know that you have a car upon check-in. If you are not staying at the hotel, please let the valet know you are attending the SPR meeting, and they will add the charges to our master account. In an effort to minimize parking costs, please consider carpooling with a coworker if you are able.

Social Functions
Thursday, 7/27 6:00-9:00pm
Welcome Reception at Nuevo Modern Mexican
– Located behind the Rock Hall –
Nuevo Modern Mexican

Please note that we are not providing shuttle service from the hotel for this event.
Nuevo is located 0.6 miles from the Westin. It is approximately a 3-minute Uber ride or 12-minute walk from the hotel.
Parking at Nuevo (for locals):
The pier belongs to the city, and they charge per car, so carpooling is best. Otherwise, you can park in the lot closest to Nuevo, which is a 7-minute walk, the path is well lit & has security cameras. The cost of the lot & pier varies by the time of day. I’m attaching a map provided by the city.
f you incur parking charges, please make sure to get a receipt and you can expense after the meeting.

Local employees are welcome to utilize the shuttle from the Westin to BrewDog, or there is ample free parking available at BrewDog.
Dinner, music, dancing, and trivia contests will be among the fun!
We can’t wait to see you in Cleveland! If any questions, please reach out to Kelly Marcelletti.
