I'm kind of surprised your hotel doesn't offer secure underground parking. ? Or maybe ask at another hotel to use their underground parking?
On Google Maps - Parkhaus Urania is rated very well... "four out of five stars...

Best park house in Zurich. Very clean and well organized

I like this park house because it is close to down town Zürich. I also like that each park place has a sensor that informs a driver whether the parking spot is vacant or occupied. A customer can pay with cash or credit card. The restrooms are clean.

Good parking in the center of Zurich. Is bit expensive but you are paid for the location. On the weekend quite crowded.

There are also a few other "Parkhaus" near by... but not directly in the old part of the city...
Parking Zürich AG - Widdergasse 1, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
City Parkhaus - Gessnerallee 11, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
Parkgarage am Central - Seilergraben, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
[P] Garage AMAG Services AG - Beethovenstrasse 35, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland
Bellevue Garage Zürich GmbH -Stadelhoferstrasse 42, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
Here are some other parkhaus garages in Zurich.

40CHF or about 40 euros to park for the day seems about right for any major city in Switzerland. I swear EVERYTHING costs way too much in CH! 5 euros for a 500ml bottle of Coke. 22CHF for a doner kabob. Man don't get me started. But I think everyone should experience Switzerland. Its just I recommend to stay over night in another country IF you can help it.
When I parked in Geneva... it cost around 48 CFH per day. That parkhaus was close to the main train station(Hauptbahnhof) and it was quite a less desirable area... hookers and pimps everywhere. Anyways... the parkhaus there had this gate and wire fence that would come down after you drove into the garage... I only parked there a few hours... then moved my car to the airport and took an S-bahn back to my downtown hotel for the Geneva auto show.
It does look like Zurich is a much nicer city... at least the Altstadt(old town) part. I would recommend to park away from the bahnhof(train station) though.
good luck,

PS: don't forget to buy a Swiss Vignette for the Swiss Autobahns. It costs 38 euros for a one year sticker(that's the only way they sell it!). Place it on the top of your car's windshield. Buy the sticker BEFORE you enter CH at any German or Austrian gas station or Autobahn rastplatz.
