The parking deck has a new system where they scan your license plate as you drive in, so you don't need a paper ticket anymore. On the way out they rescan your plate and have to pay. It's such an easy process and is a great upgrade! The parking deck has tons of spaces available and about 6 floors. We always have had good experiences with the parking here. read more

Parking was super easy I just went for the first time and it was a breeze. I would say prices are reasonable but do be prepared to go in circles to find a parking spot fair warning. Overall will be coming to this station to park when I go to future nyc trips! read more

Easy all the way. Plenty of parking, well lit, short walk to train. Safe. Easy to pay.

I was a monthly and daily parking customer for about 5to 6 years. The price for a spot about 115 which was great. until now Jan 15 2026 the price will go up by over 50% to an astounding 182. Now this is for the privilege of parking outside. There site says they must bring the facility up to the fair market value of the area. It will be there most expensive garage in nj run by them. Now if you commute in daily this is your only option as to parking by the train so I guess they figured you have no alternative but to pay. I have not parked there in several months and probably won't due to the increased amount. read more

Horrendous. This was like a chapter of Dante's Inferno. Took over an hour to get out of the garage. No customer support, nobody to help the hundreds of cars trying to get out. You're not allowed to park in the parking lots on the weekend for no perceptible reason. So they force you to be trapped in this hell and then charge you for it. Never ever parking here again. read more

Hamilton Train Station Parking - Hour of traffic - Parking Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

Fastest entry and exit ever! Was worried about missing train but parking and getting to tracks took five minutes.

Convenient location for a NJ Transit train into New York. There is also a parking garage that is reasonably priced and easy to access. We will definitely use Hamilton Square for future trips to NYC. read more

Great option for NYC visit. Parking garage makes it easy. Reasonable costs for trip.

Trim station was clean and plenty of parking train was not on time but that was not the stations fault

Parking for a second was somewhat confusing for instants I did not know you need to pay monthly pass to park outside. Certain subject to parking in the garage and family heart rates. After that we walk out to the train station and purchase a ticket. He's in the kiosk is very easy. If you and Military make sure you pay attention to the pricing on the app can you get a military discount which is your piggy senior/disable great. And it is worth it. read more

Garage signs are poor. Upon exiting, I did not see signs for "Out" that were poorly visible, and ended up circling a la Chevy Chase European Vacation! They need to have painted arrows directing customers to the exit. Also, the machines to pay were broken and had to wait about 10 minutes. Note: Hamilton Station is not tourist-friendly, rather it is geared for commuters to NYC. Signage needs to be vastly improved for entering & exiting. read more

I am in the business of making people lives easier not harder and Hamilton train station 3rd party should do the sam. About three weeks ago, a new system was installed to have you download an app I order to get out of the garage. There's only one full service exit lane, two for monthly card holders and two for express. They are forcing you to download this app not everyone have cell phones. I have missed 3 trains because of the lines to get into the garage, and there is a long line to exit as well. Having cars come out in a single line down the ramp is a safety concern. This is not helping the customer, we should not be forced to down an app to use your garage. 2nd you need to train your staff how to talk to paying customers when explaining the new system. They should not say just download the app, there is more to just downloading the damn app. Do better!! read more

Hamilton Train Station Parking - This is the line to get out of the garage, I am in the 2nd level. In the event of an emergency what are we supposed to do? - Parking Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

I came here at a friend's recommendation. Parking's better than the nearby train stations: there's a multi-level garage and no need to remember a space number and punch it into an archaic machine that only takes cash. Of course, this convenience comes at a cost: parking for two days cost me double what it does at Princeton Junction. Station's clean and easy to get to (off of Routes 1 and 295), and there's a store in the waiting area so travelers can get coffee, news, donuts, chips, or whatever else is there. read more

See all

Several of us were treated horribly yesterday. Cones were down around section C1, so cars pulled in. The cart drove up, and we were yelled at to get out. The man said the section wasn't open. When asked how we would know that, he told us we had to look at the app to find out. Asked why it wasn't open, he again yelled, "They" said so. After parking in section D2 and walking to the station, I looked and C1 had been opened. read more

Use to love parking here. This was a sold 5 star place until Nexus took over and changed to way you have to pay. It now takes 45min to leave the garage. Even if you pay with the their app. because you have to wait in line 4-5 stories up while everyone else is forced to pay with only 1 credit card machine for none app users. Makes me miss the days of parking in the dirt and gravel overflow lot on a rainy day read more

No issues when I parked here all day . Kiosk at the paying station took a few people's credit card but I'm glad I wasn't a victim .my car was safe here for over 8 hours read more

It is 4:37 here and there were no employees to assist us inside the station. The daily parking Garage was closed and there was no clear direction on where/ what to go.. We had to drive around and find the "gravel parking lot"- this is an obstacle course of potholes and badly parked vehicles.. There's ONE dunkin donuts inside the tiny train station and plenty of spilled coffee all over the floor.. Not a single maintenance person in sight!.. At least they have heat in the station so I'll give it 2 stars.. read more

Hamilton Train Station Parking - An overfilled trash can, coffee spills all over the floors, no toilet paper/ paper towels in the restrooms.. - Parking Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

I have been regular monthly pass holder for almost 10 years . my car had a flat tire so I took my other car forgot to grab my monthly pass . I explained to customer service my situation and told them I am a monthly pass holder for almost ten years . Front desk helper said he has no authority to waive my fee he also said it is my problem leaving my pass behind . I asked to speak with the manager , manager John is even worse than the front desk. if I can give them 0 star I would . worst customer service ever . read more

Left my car here overnight ($10 overnight parking fee). No problems. I like this station 100 times more than Trenton. Why wouldn't you drive up I-95 the 5 minutes so you don't have to worry about someone stealing your car in Trenton? The parking garage has plenty of lighting and plenty of spots. Keep in mind: you have to take your ticket WITH YOU because when you come back you have to pay first THEN you go to your car and drive out. if you are the type of person that loses everything just leave your parking pass/ticket IN YOUR CAR. then when you drive out drive up to the pay meter directly on the first floor, pay, and then roll out :p If you're pretty good about keeping things safe: remember to take your ticket with you, then pay, go to your car, and leave. Great location, easy access from the highway. I'll use this lot from now on. thanks! read more

Hamilton is my commuting station in and out of NYC. Sometimes I take peak trains, sometimes off-peak. I see it all - and have opted to never take a weekend train again unless I truly have no other choice. That being said, here are some pointers and suggestions. * If you're not a regular user of the station, allow yourself an extra 30 minutes on top of what you think you'll need to find parking and buy tickets. Not a huge deal, but it takes longer if you're not familiar with the whole NJ Transit ticket routine. Plus, it's big-ass lot that requires a bit of walking. * Ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing with the lame NJ Transit ticket machines and they'll sympathetically help you. You're not dumb, all the regular commuters hate them too. Again, allow yourself plenty of time so you don't get slammed for $5/ticket on board surcharge for what you could have bought on the platform. * If you're traveling with a group of folks or small kids, PLEASE DO NOT take the peak hour trains. Your new friends on the rush-hour commuter train who already are having to stand in the aisle of the too-short-express-train-for-this-hour-of-the-day will do their best to accommodate you and your clan, but why not wait another 90 minutes to take a non-peak where you can relax, pay less, and not have to cram in and impose on the already-stressed commuters? Overall, NJ Transit does their damndest to work within the constraints imposed upon them by Amtrak. Cut the conductors some slack and smile at them, stay away from peak hour trains and you and your family will have a relatively painless travel experience into NYC. read more

When I'm travelling to NYC, there are a few options: The cheapest is to take one of the $10 buses. This had 2 big downsides. It is pretty uncomfortable for my 6'3" frame to wedge into a bus seat, particularly on the way home, when I am inevitably hung over. The second downside is that I have to plan my departure time in advance, and who knows what plans can change in the big apple? I could blow $100+ on round trip Amtrak, but I'm not mad of money. I could take Septa to Trenton, and then NJT to new york. that works pretty well when I head up on a friday afternoon, and I'm staying overnight. But when I head up for a day trip, I find the best option is Hamilton. They have a big parking garage, and it's very convenient to both Rt.1 and 295. For a pro-tip, take 295 north to get to 95 south, it takes a touch longer, but no toll on that bridge, so you escape the "jersey is so terrible we make you pay to leave" fee. Best part is that NJT has trains leaving Penn station twice an hour for Hamilton/Trenton, but you don't have to worry about which one connects to the hourly Septa train. So whenever you need to leave, up to the last train at 1:20 AM, you're good to go. read more

Hamilton is the best station to head up to NYC from if you live nearby in PA. You can always find a spot in the parking garage (Head straight towards the top if you're in a rush!) and at $7 for the day - you can't go wrong! There is good lighting at night so you don't feel spooked in the garage, plus there are usually lots of other people getting off at Hamilton along with you. The only downside? They could always use more ticket machines (give yourself time - you might get stuck behind some first-timers!) and the Dunkin Donuts doesn't take DD giftcards, coupons OR sell any expanded items, like hot chocolate. read more

Really annoyed that even as a monthly user I'm charged a daily rate cos once in two years forgot my access card. Spoke/emailed to "Customer Service" no avail. The facility otherwise is smooth. Be careful of the rates and undue fees. read more

Thank god for this train station. Before it was built, the only ones in the area were Princeton Junction, which is not only a nightmare to get to, but good luck finding a parking spot, and the Trenton train station, where you take your life in your hands. Not only is the Hamilton station convenient, just off of Rt. 95, but they recently constructed a multi-level parking garage. read more

Hamilton train station is mostly great, when you can get a parking space. The garage and lots tend to fill up by 9am-and I mean ALL spots. SO INCONVENIENT. They reroute you to Trenton station, which is a station BACK on the NJT line to NYC, and where parking is $13.50 for 12 hours, as opposed to $7 at Hamilton. In short, if you are not a daily commuter, allow an hour before you need to catch the train. PLEASE EXPAND THE PARKING SITUATION. Would give it 5 stars if this issue were fixed! read more

Hamilton is the best station in the area. That's not saying a lot, but it's definitely the best option on many fronts. Lots of parking and only $7 for the day in the garage. The waiting area is clean and safe. The Dunkin Donuts inside sucks, but at least there's food and coffee available. Bathrooms are eh. Like another Yelper mentioned your biggest problem is likely getting stuck behind someone who's never used the ticket machines before during morning rush. HINT: if you're in a hurry and the two machines in the front are packed, try the ones outside by the tracks. There's usually less of a line. Or download the extremely glitchy NJ Transit app on your phone. read more

Pros: Decently clean, I felt safe leaving my car here over night, and plenty of parking in the garage. Easy to get to from King of Prussia. Cons: None really. read more

I recently parked here for my week-long trip overseas. I then took the train to Newark airport (usually 48 minutes to one hour depending on how many stops the train makes) and caught the connecting train to the airport. Everything went as planned going outbound and the bill worked out to $10 per full day plus $7 for a part of a day. You need to pay before you get into your car, or you can insert your credit card into the machine when you arrive, and again when you leave. The drawback of my plan had nothing to do with Hamilton station. The Newark airport Air Train (Tran?) was shut down for repairs when I returned and they were using buses to get people to/from the terminals. Unless you had 30 extra minutes to spare this would have been a big problem for someone using the Air Tran to get to the airport. read more

This is my station of choice when taking NJTransit to NYC. It's way more pleasant than Trenton (which even post-removations is a creepy place to hang around). You can also catch selected AMTRAK trains here. And the lady who runs the newsstand/gift shop is sweet - even if they always seem to be closed when I come by. read more

The station is small but it is very safe and clean. Parking during peak hours can be tough and you may have to pay the $7 fee to park in a gravel lot if the other lots are full, but it is less crowded than Princeton Junction and the Dunkin Donuts/convenience store is well-stocked with fast service. read more

They now have a Dunkin Donuts here. Albeit a small Dunkin Donuts, they still have good items on the menu and the donuts were real good. And as others have said, this is a better station choice then Trenton. It is more safe and there is not drug deals going on right outside. Parking is also plentiful, but remember to pay before you get into your car. read more

It's nice and clean and the people are not thugs like At Trenton It's a safer less criminally active station read more

Yes I came from Nebraska to visit my sister in New Jersey.She wanted to adventure off NY so we had to drive to Hamilton station.Never have I been on a train.Your gentlemen that was working on 07-12-2018.He was so nice he didn't make us fill like we where bothering him.I fine people in customer service can be do rude.So please let him know we appreciate his kindness his pleasant smiles. read more

I've been commuting from Hamilton to NYC recently. There is always a parking spot available. At 7AM levels 1-3 are already taken, just skip level 4 and go to level 5 directly. You can park right next to the stairs/elevators. From there, it's just 30 feet to the first ticket machine and the station. If you are not a monthly commuter, do not get a parking ticket, just use your credit card when entering the parking lot and use the same card when getting out. There is no need to pay in the lobby. You'll also get a receipt. The rates are per hour, but it's $7 for 8-12hrs parking. Do not bother going to Trenton or Princeton Junction. Good luck finding a parking spot in Princeton. Moreover, when you board at Princeton (morning commute), most of the window seats are already taken. read more

I'm a Trenton local who's been using the Hamilton station for NY trips for years now. The station itself and the parking garage in particular are clean, easy to get to and fairly secure. My only complaint, minor as it may be is the self serve ticket booths are sprinkled around the station without signage indicating where the others can be located. Often times, especially if it's close to the train's scheduled arrival, you'll find a gaggle of people pushing, shoving and cutting in line in attempt to purchase their tickets at the seemingly lone double kiosk located directly outside of the parking garage. Nay. Walk on patrons, walk on. You'll find several self serve kiosks surrounding and within the station's seating alcove. read more

Note to garage management & staff: why don't you institute and "Lot Full" sign? The garage was completely full one weekday morning this week which I (and several other frustrated drivers) discovered after driving through it 2x and missing my train. Major headache that could've been avoided. read more

HORRIBLY hard to find daily parking in the early morning hours. Had to park in monthly in a rush then call my husband to move my car. Come to find out the daily parking is in a dirt lot. Glad it wasn't raining or else I'd be in the mud. Yuck!! read more

Hamilton has a new parking garage which while nice means you HAVE to pay to park. I'm used to parking at Princeton Junction where, providing you don't park M-F during the day paying for parking seems to be optional, I've parked there many times on the weekends, even overnight and never gotten a ticket. A friend of mine swears after 11AM during the week the parking isn't checked at Princeton. Plus at Princeton parking is $4 a day whereas at Hamilton it's $6. I think I'll save the $6 and go to Princeton next time read more

The staff here is getting out of control obnoxious. Many of them are hip hop kids in ratty clothes who act like they hate you. Before routing you around the lots to find which one is active (completely inefficient) they sneer at you like you are privileged to be there. Place is going downhill from a few years ago and should be re-staffed. read more

Monthly parkers beware! Management has begun booting cars for minor violations. I was parked on the line, got a ticket for taking two spaces plus boot fee - needless to say, parking on the line was my mistake but booting my car (and then needing to wait over a half an hour to get it removed) is excessive. Unfortunately there are not many alternatives for those of us who commute into NY - Trenton is run by the same shady outfit and Princeton has a mile long waiting list. The manager told me the reason is because they had so many unpaid parking tickets but this was my first offense. I'd recommend anyone going in over the weekend park at Princeton Junction. read more
