Alright. This parking garage is a pain in the butt. My cousin couldn't even readily merge into the outlet from the garage in addition to the scanner for the parking tickets not working properly. read more

Great parking garage. First time using this garage and will definitely use it again. It was so easy. We were here for a packed event at the Southern Theatre. I love the way it's organized for exit as the flow of traffic guides each level out smoothly. You can Pay at the kiosk on your way back to your car or by credit card at the gates. read more

Forever known by me as the City Center garage this janga piece looking five slab of concrete, still in use for the downtown workers and event goers, does pretty well in its car-keep purpose. Parking space available at all times and around-the-clock security for a relatively low price makes it a primo choice for visitors. It dominates the block between Rich and Main Streets just east of High. Visitors to our fair city take note: those are one way streets; the northern is Rich and it goes west; Main on the garage's southern flank runs east. So prepare your route accordingly. Though the cosmopolitan feel of the garage that once emanated from the Cinnabon smelling mall when it sat over the commons a decade ago is gone the place still fills pretty fast--though rarely to capacity. One wonders how it had served the daily workforce and the shoppers then. I recently spent two weeks on jury duty parking here every day by 10am and was relegated to the top floor most days. Not a problem for me; the panoramic view of the city stroked my lust for visual delights. But it may be a prob for those with mobility issues. There are elevators but they are inconsistent--a couple days they seemed out-of-order. Easy in and easy out are also key attributes created by the one way streets. Most of the time that is. Around five though rush hour pushes traffic up the five stories; one day the ramps were jammed to the top exit. It took 15-minutes to leave the garage. I suspect this is the problem for all garages. Rates are $2 for the first half-hour and three for the first hour. Afterward it is a dollar every hour to a daily max of $12. Note: this is for the main garage. An underground plot beneath the Columbus Commons accessable from Town Street is more expensive. Card only. Not sure if there is a station you can get a paid slip by cash-- so be prepared. There are machine you can pay before getting your car, and the announcement says to do that first, but the exits have credit card swipes too. So no worries. read more

Went to the wrong garage for a charity event by mistake., had a car behind me so went in, parked my car confirmed I was at the wrong garage and went to leave. Was $3 for the time to find a spot and leave. Complained assuming they had a reasonable grace period aka time to drive to the top and down but no and manager over the radio threatened a misdemeanor and $70 for refusing to pay. So I paid. Hope that this negative review leads to far more lost revenue than $3 in the future. Good luck with your business, people will always need parking I guess and will pay for convenience. read more

A four-star review of a parking garage, what? Why? If you're coming downtown for an event, the Columbus Commons garage has two entrances with two entry lanes each (on Rich westbound and Main eastbound); there are 3-5 exit lanes as well. It's a relatively easy in-out, and you're not going to be on top of people coming/leaving the event. It's also competitively priced, especially if you're downtown during working hours. If you're looking for dedicated parking, you'll have the amenities above, as well as good customer service. Contrary to other reviews, there are security folks and staff on golf carts roaming the entirety of the garage - I see them morning, noon, and night. The office staff are super-nice, and they even called me as soon as they noticed I'd forgotten to update my new payment information, rather than sending a notice. When I blankly pulled a ticket instead of using my entry card (it was a bad day), they reset my card for me, no questions asked. Last fall, when the CC garage started repairs, they did a great job of communicating with their pass holders, sending email updates and letting us know what was happening, what lanes/areas would be affected, etc. Few business any more seem to bother with these kinds of updates, or they happen after the fact. Later in the fall, they even had a "customer appreciation" party one morning, with juice, donuts, granola bars - to thank everyone for being patient with the repairs/renovations. Super-nice. Overall, I'd choose this garage again for my daily parking, and because it's affordable and close to everything, I'd recommend it to those coming downtown for a day or night event. read more

The Columbus Commons Garage (formerly was the City Center Garage) has been around for some time. Its been given a face lift from the Columbus Commons development. Currently, there is a lot of construction on the western edge of the garage. It also serves as a bus depot. Entrances / Exits are located on Main Street and Rich Street. Parking is quite reasonably priced for such a central downtown location - $5 . It was quite handy when I had jury duty, only a block away from the courthouse. They also offer a monthly parking pass for commuters that you can sign up / pay for through their web site. Centrally located in downtown Columbus. Pretty easy to get in and out of the garage. Over 4,500 parking spaces. read more

The LAZ Garages are poorly attended and too expensive. There are plenty of superior options throughout the city. Park here at your own risk. The lot between the Capital Plaza lot and the 4th and Capital lot, owned by another company, is less expensive. There are also actually people monitoring the lot to prevent break-ins, unlike the LAZ lots. The prices charged by LAZ are high. My fiancee, for example, paid a recurring monthly rate, yet managed to be ticketed 25 times by LAZ before they straightened it out. They threatened to take her to court for not paying for the parking she had, in essence, already been billed for. Did I mention that their rates are high? My parents parked in a LAZ lot on a Saturday afternoon and had their car broken into. You would think since the company charges so much, they would have somebody watching the lot. But no such luck. The staff is also rude and unhelpful when presented with problems. If possible, parking in a non-LAZ lot or walking Downtown are superior options to giving these guys money. In conclusion, LAZ charges too much money, is rude and doesn't monitor their lots. Best advice: park anywhere else. read more
