It's a tight space, so it's unlikely your vehicle will make it entirely parallel to the kiosk to get it. The garage allows prepaid parking; you can scan a QR code to get in. Once inside, the has very tight quarters. One helix is responsible for heading upwards; the other one heads downwards. The cross over points exist in every level. Certain spots are marked as reserved, so check carefully for any signs posted within the parking space. Lastly, the levels are marked P1, P2, ... so if you park at a space that is between two P levels, and it is your first time here, you might mistake which level you parked on when taking the elevator back up. So if you feel like your car isn't where you thought you left it, check a level up or down. The security guard working there states this type of situation occurs all the time. The elevators are pretty neat. They have a kiosk outside, from where you select which floor to go to prior to going inside one of the three elevators. Finally, parking there after working hours appears to be a pretty nice value.

This parking lot + a five star experience = the oddest review to ever be excited to write about…read morelol. Before I got to my destination, I was a bit overwhelmed with where to park as I knew this was a busy street. Little did I know the Holly Commons parking lot would actually turn out to work in my favor! Not only is it nicely lit, but there is ample parking spaces. I really enjoyed the touch of murals and need to come back and pay a bit more attention to the artists. Parking initially requires payment but with select local businesses at Holly Commons you'll receive a validation code after a monetary purchase. If you're just needing a place to leave your car, simply treat it like paid parking!

You can easily get to the Moody Center, DKR, Bass Concert Hall, the Blanton with a quick walk or pedi-cab. However, while getting in might be easy, getting out is another story.

Other times, we will sit here and wait for arrival flights of visiting friends and family members. Having this option makes it a lot easier because the airport arrival pickup zones can be insane. The lot is well-lit and safe. 5/29/26 brought an interesting view, though. We pulled in as we were waiting for a friend's flight and there was a newer Mercedes on blocks with no tires. We came up with all sorts of scenarios trying to figure it out. Lol. But again, it's a safe and convenient area.

I was about 30 minutes early, so I sat in the cell phone lot waiting to be closer to the time to picking up my friend. The lot is medium sized. A lot of people siting with their cars running. There is a Whataburger so if you're feeling hungry, you can slip through the drive-thru. They have a sign in the door "no public restroom" so if you gotta go.. SOL. The cell phone is handy if you arrive too early but still want to park and meet your friends and family inside the thermal. That's what I do, cause I always like to greet them at baggage claim with my cute, funny, risky signs and balloons.

This is a spacious university operated parking garage located at the intersection of MLK and I-35…read more It features two entrances, and it has multiple levels. It's located roughly a mile from the main campus, so budgeting around 20 minutes for walking through the Texas sauna would be smart. It is located across from the baseball stadium, and it is a smidge south of the tennis center. There used to be a Cap Metro stop at the garage, but it seems that one has fallen out of use. It wasn't too useful anyways, since drivers and buses would frequently skip the stop. The north end of the garage has a dumpster, some stairs, and a walkway. Some elevators are also located on that side. The north entrance goes down, but then it forces you upwards after entering. The east entrance goes in at ground level. The south side has a set of stairs that dumps you out at MLK and I-35. Sometimes there will be events going on, in which case they usually close off the MLK and I-35 entrances, making you take the Comal Street entrance (and they'll sometimes block off the parking lot to the north) through use of barricades, traffic cones, and police presence. If you are going to the Moody Center for something, they expressly forbid parking at the ECG for Moody Center event parking. They have a nice big sign that they like to put out. As for the layout of the garage, it's rather spacious and not cramped. They've also recently put up signs indicating that large vehicles can't park on the edge spaces (the ones next to a U-turn). I'm not sure why there is a space there anyways, since no matter what parks there, there will be an awkward lack of visibility as you turn. The upper levels of the garage are reserved for those with vehicle storage passes. In terms of egress, there are stairs that lead out to the MLK / I-35 intersection, stairs that lead to the bus stop out front, and the stairs on the north side. On the northeast side, there is a ramp that goes to the bottom level. Finally, the Department of Campus Safety has moved their HQ to the garage. They are located on the east side, between the east entrance and the north entrance. Landscaping around the garage is pretty pleasant. There are a few trees that provide a little bit of shade, but not much else. On the north side, you can see the baseball field and tennis courts. And I suppose that on the roof, the views are likely nice too.
