Default Foxwoods regular, first time borgata questions

I'm planning to head down to the Borg this weekend for the first time. I haven't decided yet if I'm just making the day trip on Saturday, or doing the long weekend. I have a couple questions, and I'd appreciate any additional advice.

I found a price of $137.25 plus tax for 3 nights for the Days Inn in Absecon, I assume I'm not gonna find anything cheaper than that.

I'm planning to play the 6/12; how many tables of this are generally run on the weekends? How early should I get there on Friday/Saturday to get a seat without too much waiting? Does the Borg do call ahead seating for this level? Foxwoods only takes call aheads for 20/40 and above, for some reason.

People have mentioned that this game is sometimes slow due to change making. I was planning to buy in for a rack, half red/half white, and shuffle my stack together into a candy cane. This seems obvious, is there a reason everyone doesn't do it?

How much does it cost to park? If I go to the Empire thing at Trump Marina, can I walk over? If not, do I have to pay to park again when I come back? Does the Borg do a reseat list like Foxwoods, so I don't have to endure a Saturday night wait when I come back?

How does the comp system work? At the fox, you sign in and out with the floor to get your paltry $0.50/hour. Does the Borg work similarly? Are there food comps available?

Are there multiple parking garages? If so, which is closer to the poker room?

Any other tips appreciated.
