I'm going to be in Ft Worth next week on business. This business is going to be in the Sundance Square area and I was wondering if the MVers in that area could fill me in on a good area for secure scooter parking at hotels and what traffic is like around Ft Worth during business hours.

Specifically I'm leaning toward extended stay hotels, something with kitchenettes, in the medical center area, Arlington area, and down near 1-20 southwest of Ft Worth.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I guess I should add that I'm taking the BV and will use the cover and lock from the GTV.

I can't speak specific to Ft. Worth hotels but when I've been travelling some places have encouraged or at least allowed me to pack to the side of the entrance doors within the line of site of the front desk. In Austin I stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn that was a high rise and had pay parking up a ramp behind a gate and the valets told me to just go around the gate and park in any of the end spots too small for a car. Bonus, I wasn't charged the daily parking rate.

When traveling on the BV I've never worried about security other than parking it in a visible place. I wouldn't expect Arlington to be an area where you'd need to be particularly concerned. Secured with a locked cover you should be fine.

I have a condo at the old T&P building in Ft Worth. The traffic can be very slow during rush hour, but drivers are not nearly as crazy as I have witnessed in cities like Miami.

I personally would not stay in Arlington if all of your business is in FTW. Arlingtons traffic can be worse than FTW.
