Folks,
While I've ridden out of NPN many times, I've never had occasion to park there and leave a car and I've paid little attention to the parking lot.
I'm going to have that opportunity in the next few months, so I was wondering if anyone knows just how plentiful parking is at NPN. The lot surrounding the station never struck me as particularly large, and a Google Maps inspection suggests that there's maybe 79 spots, not including handicapped, taxi-specific, or pick-up/drop off-specific. Amtrak's web site indicates that there are 95 long-term spaces, but I can't find all of them on Google Maps. It's also not clear if long term parking carries a charge, although there's no toll gate to that lot, so I'm guessing it's free.
Anyway, a few basic questions for people who have used this lot before:
1). Is parking usually plentiful? I would be taking 66 out on Friday afternoons and returning on Sundays.
2). Is there a charge for parking?
3). How safe is the area? It's going to be a rental car on corporate insurance, but I'd obviously like to avoid the hassle of car damage.
Many thanks,
Rafi
