It is street parking in front of the home. I would guess if you were there right when it opened, then there would not be a problem. You must first get your tickets a few blocks away which requires another parking space - again street parking. Of course, you could park in either of the two places and walk from here to there which is at the most 3 blocks?

I'm sorry. I don't really know. I do know that a couple in our group did have their RV with them but I'm not sure if they stayed in it. I think they stayed in the hotel with the rest of us.
