Parking Policies and Options at Oasis Guest House

What you need to know:

If you're a guest who may be planning to arrive with a vehicle, you definitely should review the important information below.

What you need to know:

• A very limited number of spaces are available in a service alley behind our properties

• Unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability of parking spaces

• Advance reservations for parking spaces are not possible

• Spaces are available first come, first served only and when assigned, include in/out privileges at no additional fee

• You may request a space when doing your mandatory pre-registration (two days before arrival). The morning of your arrival, we will send you a text message and/or email with a parking space assignment, or a message indicating that no spaces are available. 

• Small or medium sized vehicles only. Sorry, no pickup trucks, minivans, large SUV's or extended cab vehicles - they simply won't fit.  Vehicles must be no larger than the following dimensions:

• * 16 ft x 6 ft  (192 inches x 72 inches)

• If you're unsure of the dimensions of your vehicle, a quick search on Google will provide you the details

• Parking spaces may not be available during snow storms, or any time the alley is not properly cleared of snow or ice as a result of occasional delay of services from the City of Boston

• Unfortunately, we do not have handicapped accessible spaces, and there are none on the street near us.

 

If you don't request parking during your registration, you may request a space upon check-in - however, all spaces may already be sold out.  You'll also have to drive back around to the alley entrance (or the nearby garage if our spaces are sold out). The drive, while short in distance, may take 10-15 minutes or more due to one-way streets, traffic lights, heavy traffic and numerous pedestrians in the area. 

​

While we often have spaces available, from time to time they do sell out. This is especially true during Red Sox games, local concerts, student move-in weekends, city events, etc. 

​

Discounted Parking at the Westland Garage

 

If our spaces are sold out, if you have a larger vehicle, or if you require sheltered parking, we will direct you to Westland Parking Garage at 35 Westland Avenue. This nearby public garage is at the end of the street (the corner of Edgerly Road and Westland Ave), just a short 2-minute walk from our location. Please note that the garage parking does not include in/out privileges. You may enter and exit only once per visit. Re-entry will incur new fees.  Please note also that the discount is only available (when offered) if booked and paid for via this website link:  https://promo.parking.com/oasis-guest-house-parking/ 

 

As mentioned above, the discount is not always available. Westland Garage will allocate a limited inventory/number of spaces to be available at discounted rates but there may be occasional blackout dates when discounting will not be offered. Please do not call us about any questions about Westland Garage, it's rates at any given time, or its inventory of discounted spaces - if you have questions, please contact Westland Garage directly. 

​

Alternatively, you may also use either the SpotHero or ParkWhiz apps, or their websites, where you can find, reserve and pay for a wide variety of local parking spaces in area garages, parking lots and other spaces.  See their apps or websites for more details:  SpotHero   ParkWhiz Both websites/apps will typically include listings for independent parking spaces in a garage located at 12 Stoneholm street (among other locations), which is an indoor residential garage just across the street from us.  The parking spaces are rented independently, and you must reserve them via either website or app - but you cannot just show up and rent a space in that garage. You must reserve it online and pay online in advance.

 

Please note that we don't have storage facilities for bicycles or other recreational equipment. If you plan to bring bicycles or other equipment to Boston, please make arrangements in advance for storage in a secure location.

Bike sharing from BlueBikes is available nearby for our guests who would like to enjoy the nearby bicycle paths and sightseeing.
