Why parking entrances get mixed up

Hotels, campuses, malls, and venues often have one public address but several driveways, ramps, or parking zones.

Drivers who pick the wrong entrance may loop around the block, enter from the wrong side, or park far away from the actual meetup point.

Show the parking entrance on the map, then add a short note about the driveway side, garage name, or the nearest recognizable sign.

If parking is limited, say that clearly so guests can decide whether to drive, ride-share, or walk from another lot.

A catchup.at page works well because the location and note stay together instead of being split across messages.

Create the page around the parking entrance first, then use the note to tell drivers where the group will be after they park.
