I decided to go to this parking garage since it's close to a restaurant I want to go to. It's very…read morepacked and narrow here compared to the one I usually go. Literally, every floor level is packed which made go all the way to the rooftop. It's very hectic here and just be careful navigating here. It would have been much easier if the paths aren't narrow, which is no wonder why it's all one-way. The good news is that you get the first 90 minutes for free parking and then $1 per 15 minutes ($4 per hour). Other than that, it's just quite hard navigating from here but at least you can go here for your convenience for walking distance from here to another place nearby.

Pros: + Had spaces available when other garages in the area…read morewere full. + Reasonably priced on a Saturday night - $6 for the whole night Cons: - CASH ONLY. Really. Read the drama this has caused other reviewers. - Perhaps the tiniest paid parking spaces I have seen in the bay area. If adjacent spots are full, you will either (1) get dirty as you are squeezed against your or your neighbor's car here or (2) damage your car parking here. Even worse, it's not just the architect that is to blame. The line painting in this garage encourages parking in ways that make it near impossible to exit your car once you park it. Anyway, I'd recommend people use this garage in about 10-20 years, once the existing painted lines fade and can be repainted with some non-idiotically painted lines.

This may be the most expensive public parking garage in downtown San Jose. $1 for each 15 minutes,…read moreup to $30 max per day. Parking on Almaden blvd across the street is $7 flat fee per day. Many downtown San Jose public parking garages like the San Pedro parking garage have the first 90 minutes free. Cityview parking garage 3 blocks away charges a flat fee of $12 after 5pm and on weekends. The Convention Center garage has no discount for the first 90 minutes of parking nor parking after 5pm, nor parking on weekends. $15 flat fee for event parking during the Center for Performing Arts events, one hour before event through one hour after event, 630pm-1130pm weekdays. The only people who park here are convention attendees who can write off the $30 daily fee as a business expense, or people visiting the Tech museum, who are charged $5. Hence the place was empty at 6pm Wednesday.

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!

There were cars behind me so I couldn't back out, and there was no room to turn around, nor anybody in the booth to talk to. So I entered and immediately tried to get out. The system wouldn't let me unless I pay a full hour's price. I again tried to look for some people to talk to, but all they had was some intercom line. I called but found it impossible to reason with the guy at the other end. Not only did he refuse to open the gate, though I entered not by choice and it was only seconds ago, but he also simply hung up on me all of a sudden, in the middle of me talking. I had to call this person again to ask him who his supervisor was, only to hear that he himself was, and he hung up again. The way he treated with me was both unreasonable and lack of basic respect. Therefore, I'm using the remaining hour to write about this experience.
