Parking during GHOE advice

My friend and I are staying at a hotel that’s 25-30 minutes from campus. She wants us to Uber instead of driving. I do understand that finding a parking space can be difficult, but there are also issues with using Uber during GHOE. My question is: would it be better for me to pay for a parking pass, get to campus super early, and try to find a parking spot? Or is there somewhere that’s not directly on camp but isn’t far away where I can pay to park?
