2 Stars for quite possibly the most confusing parking garage in all of Central Florida.
Word to the wise- When parking in this garage remember every detail of where you parked, which elevator you took from the parking level, the color of the level, etc. This will serve you well when you inevitably get lost inside the maze that is the Plaza parking garage.
There are many elevators leading to and from the garage, but beware. Some stop in floors labeled 2b and 2c, while others only to go to 1, 2, 3, and so on. I have twice taken an elevator to what turned out to be a hallway of doom. It appeared to be back hallways behind the restaurants and I don't know how I got there, but I ended up finally exiting at the dumpster... It was oddly comical the one time I was with friends. Not so much when I was by myself.
Should you head my advice and take the same elevator to return to your car you're still not out of the woods. The elevator on one side of the building stops at a floor and then proceed to shake violently for several seconds before the door opens. I've exchanged many a nervous (see: terrified) look with strangers on that elevator. All of us sure it would be our final ride.
If that wasn't enough of a case for taking an uber to the movies, the scrapes along the narrow curves of the garage tell the tale of many a scratched SUV. Do as I do, friend: drive at an ungodly slow pace as you exit/enter.
Finally, there are many warnings to pay at one of the pay stations before you go back to your car. Yes, only one will work so there will be a long line, but if you've made it this far in my review I'll share an insider's tip- you can actually pay with a card right at the exit. Shhh! read more
