Flying Allegiant out of Minot next week wondering if anyone knows of any Minot hotels that will let you park your vehicle for free or at the very least for a minimal fee? When I fly out of Bismarck Best Western they keep my car for free which obviously is a nice deal. Airport parking is $12 US per day now which starts to add up for a ten day flight.

We've used the Grand Hotel (formerly the International Inn)  
 
We've also used EZ Park which is practically right beside the airport although he was talking about closing it last time I used it so not sure if it is still open.

Just checked on line EZ Park no longer does airport parking.

We flew Allegiant and stayed at the Grand before we flew out. Parking was free and so was the shuttle to the airport. Not sure if it’s free if you don’t stay tho. We’ve also stayed at the Hampton Inn and Sleep Inn with free parking and free airport shuttles.

We’ve used the Grand as well. Nice hotel, you have to stay one night but they have a Canadian rate and it’s still cheaper than parking for the week.

You get free parking for 10 days then it's $10/day after that if you spend the night there. They have nice rooms, super clean hotel, awesome customer service and a 2 queen bed suite was $87/night on a Friday. It's spitting distance to the airport...almost right next to it.

Hmmm.....just checked Hampton Inn no $87 price! Cheapest was $139.

Ya you won't get the Hampton under about $125 anytime. It's across the street from the Grand.

Although we have never actually done so, I asked when we stayed at the Hyatt House on the Hwy 83 Bypass. If I remember correctly, they were OK with parking there. I am sure that you would be expected to stay at least 1 night. Check out the following link:

I've never paid over $90/night (American)...but who knows...they're like the Clarion I guess with a floating rate...busy or close to full rates go up who knows. We stayed an extra night and opted for the suite and even that was only $97. I am a Hilton Honours member and I do book in advance...don't know if that would account for a $40 difference though.  
 
Anyway...I love it and it's free parking for 10 days...

But you just said you paid $97  
 
We visit Minot fairly regularly and I have never got a rate of below $110 at the Hampton when I inquired.  
 
There is also the Vegas hotel you can stay and park there but the rooms are pretty sketchy.

Just checked Hampton again. $109 US or $135 CDN.

Just thought I would let you know for future reference the Grand Hotel rate was US$71 plus $10 a week for your car . I booked it. Free shuttle to airport . Leaving my car at the my not airport would have been US$120 so I saved a few bucks and get a good nights sleep .
