Pros:
+ Close and convenient to most places in the heart of Downtown San Jose (The Tech Museum, San Jose Museum of Art, The Sainte Claire, Il Fornaio, Original Joe's, Arcadia)
+ There's almost always spots for parking.
+ No attendant necessary, pay as you exit.
Cons:
+ The sign out front is very misleading with a giant $5.00 in bold red, followed by very small print below that reads "per hour". Damn, that's expensive for San Jo! More expensive than a meter in San Francisco...
+ Walking back to my car late at night feels kinda sketch.
+ Machine ate my ticket one time, so I had to push the attendant button and wait for a staffer in the middle of the day to come by and let me out of the lot. Luckily this was in the daytime, not at night!
Yes, it's easy and convenient. But it can cost you a pretty penny to park here. There are other garages nearby if $5 uncovered parking offends you! read more
