The Good: *As stated above, it was a good location near the heart of DT Portland and everything was just a short 5-10min walk away. *Up front pricing (this will be evident why this is important later) *We liked the design of the panic garage, as it was easy and hassle-free, unlike a lot of these modern garages that are waaayyyyyy too complicated for their own good. The Meh: *$5/hr w/ a max of $50/all-day. While not terrible, there were cheaper parking garages around but it is what it is. Fwiw, these prices are more expensive than parking in SF, so put that in your pipe and smoke it. The Ugly: *We have friends in the area, and they warned us of "predatory parking garages" that don't state their prices before entering. So, if you don't see a price then do not enter or prepare to pay the consequences. Conclusion: Not the worst place to park, but there's better options.

Parking at this location is predatory at best. Upon entering the garage, there is no signage…read moreindicating any such hourly or flat rate for parking. I parked here for 9 hours and paid $45- this is a Boston rate in a city far smaller. The garage was nowhere near full, but if the price were displayed prior to entering, business would likely drop off from the few that park here. There's ample parking nearby, so why not lower the rate to keep it competitive? If you set a day rate of $20/day I would think there would be far more business than presently. Recommendations: -Be transparent and display your rates BEFORE people enter. Failing to do so is a predatory tactic. -Lower your rates so people would actually park here, especially if you plan to display rates. The garage is 7 levels and most of them are empty during peak morning hours. -Consider a day/flat rate pricing. -If you are going for hourly, tell me what amount it caps at if at all.

I feel fortunate that we have a permit on one of our cars for this lot due to one of us being employed at a nearby company. There is public parking here in the off hours, after 5pm on weekdays and on weekends. Generally it is $5 I think, but we thought we saw $10 on the 4th of July. The big bonus about this lot... When you exit you have a stop light so you don't have fight to get out... Unless people are blocking the intersection.

I was about to miss the bus and the gentleman selling me my ticket was in no rush whatsoever. He was chatting with his coworkers, who were also not helping people. I then proceeded to get in the huge line. Luckily a nice lady told me my bus was loaded and about the leave and I was in the wrong line. I quickly went outside and the bus driver was very nice. The bus ride itself is fine, not amazing, not bad plus you get a free bottle of water. The bus drops you at your departure terminal which makes the whole situation so easy and worth the $61 round trip. Parking is an issue here so have someone drop you off, if possible.
