Of all the parking facilities that we utilized in Key West, this one was the best and one of the cheapest. You'll find a lot of options in Key West for parking such as on the street by the hour or in private lots where you pay for the full day. In many cases, your time on Duval Street or in Mallory Square or the marina area will be just a couple hours. That's just $10 at the 201 Front Street Garage (as a part of the Opal Key Resort). If you go to the privately owned lots or the Post Office, you may pay $25-$35 and only use two hours. Not a great use of your money if you pay for a full day and only use a few hours. Plus, I believe the security and general activity and demand in this parking garage make it safer for you and your vehicle. This parking deck is a part of the Opal Key resort and spa complex, and it is open to the public. Also, the parking deck keeps your car protected from the high heat and sun exposure. It is convenient for sailing excursions, jet ski expeditions,, Mallory Square, Duval St., The Farmers Market at Truman Waterfront Park, and the Truman Annex. Also, if you're visiting any of the retailers or other merchants, always ask if they provide validated parking. So, always take your parking ticket with you just in case you can get somebody else to cover the cost. Make sure you get to the 201 Front St. Garage (9:30 AM before the Merchants open at 10 AM) early as it is in high demand and stays full. There are a couple of EV charge stations as you enter. read more
