The lanes inside the garage are pretty narrow, though--anything larger than a compact car will feel tight. Tip: If you're trying to leave after hours use the Ellis exit and scan your ticket there to get out.

Came by the other afternoon and it was a decent experience. Ellis O'Farrell is a SFMTA garage that…read moretakes flex transit dollars. The number of available spots is also posted live via the SFMTA website. Upon entering off of O'Farrell, I was surprised by a huge speed bump while attempting to go up the ramp...in a stickshift...yikes... Luckily no one was behind me while I e-braked and balanced my clutch so I could get up the ramp in my rice rocket without stalling or rolling back...too much. Parking spaces are towards the smaller end and more spaces are available the higher up you go. Lifts were available to get back down to the street. Payment machines were available on the lower and street level before going back to the car on the upper levels. Payment via NFC payments are also ok. Security guards were visible and garage seemed to be under video surveillance.

This is a good, legit garage, but be prepared to overpay…read more I appreciate that there were attendants to direct me, plenty of available spots, and I felt my car was safe while seeing a show at August Hall. However, $35 for fewer than 3 hours was quite steep. They explained the rate - $10 per hour, okay - but the math wasn't mathing. I should've been charged $30 tops! When I asked about the rate, the attendant said "it's all virtual - we just scan the code and charge" but the time of entry wasn't recorded. I believe they rounded the time UP and charged me the max amount. Annoying!

One of the safest garages in the city. Attendants on each floor. Not inexpensive but worth it.read more

That has made getting in and out of the garage a little bit easier. Sometimes I buy a parking pass on the spothero but lately I found that it's the same price or maybe cheaper just to pay directly at the garage. The garage is underneath the IKEA building on Market Street. The only entrance is the back alley. I've never had a problem finding parking and there is charging for electric vehicles.

Parking in the City is a challenge especially in the 6th St. area. We've been hesitant to drive…read morehere due to the limited parking and the grittiness of the area. I found out about this garage through Spot Hero. I reserved a spot for 6 hours for dinner then to see the Jimmy O. Yang show at the Golden Gate. You enter the garage on Stevenson alley from 6th St. Read from some Yelpers that homeless congregate on the alley, but we did notice any while driving to the garage entrance. Actually the people hanging out were on 6th St. Drove down the ramp and scanned my spot hero QR and proceeded into the garage. Taking the elevator up to the street level, there's IKEA and two levels of restaurants. It's great that you walk out to Market St. and not exit on Stevenson alley. After the show, it took about 15 minutes to exit the garage as all the other show goers were trying to exit as well and there is only one lane out. A good safe modern garage between 5th and 6th Streets. Will park here again for shows at the Golden Gate and Warfield.

It wasn't long before we realized we would not be finding street parking. We finally found a parking garage. I understand the real-estate is a premium in San Fran, but I was very glad I wasn't driving anything bigger than a RAV4, because you had to make some of the sharpest turns and corners I've ever seen in a parking garage. It was incredibly tight quarters, I'm not sure if it was designed for just Mini Coopers and Smart cars, but it was definitely a stressful nailbiter getting in and out of. The parking spots themselves were very average, and the pricing was reasonable, for being right in such a popular tourist area. When we got out of the car, I noticed some writing behind the car, and as I looked around, there was some on every spot....Every parking spot got a fortune, like a fortune cookie, which definitely cracked me up. Bonus points for the creativity!

Scam. Pulled in, drive to the top and back down - no parking. They charged $5. And the extremely…read morerude person who answered the call button basically yelled at us and said we had to pay because we took too long to look for a spot.

It's great if you're planning to attend an event/conference at the Moscone, but you don't wan to pay the crazy parking around the area. It's about a 15 minute walk, or you could find an electric scooter to just take you there. It's perpendicular to the police station at the tenderloin It's a fairly small parking place, but you drive all the way in, park, and you walk up to the front to tell them you're parking. You can either pay in person, just pay ahead of time using SpotHero (If you're joining SpotHero for the first time, feel free to use my referral code to get $7 off your first spot!: http://bit.ly/jean-spothero) that makes parking at this particular lot only $5!! I always opted in for paying ahead of time. They also ask that you call 15 minutes before you arrive to pick up your car, but I assume that is mainly for the days that it's a packed lot and they have to shuffle the other cars around to get to yours because it literally takes them like 2 minutes to pull it out. DISCLAIMER: If you're planning on going to the parking lot at night, I would warn you because it is in the tenderloin district. There were times when I was walking there during the day to put items into my car and I didn't feel safe. ***WOULD NOT recommend walking down Ellis St., take Eddy St. if you're headed back to your car***

I went on the website to reserve my parking space and was given a confirmation number to show the workers. Once I showed up, they didn't even want to help me out. Didn't even look at anything I was showing them, and wouldn't let me park here, even after asking multiple workers that were present. I decided to find parking elsewhere, but before leaving, I looked in my rear view mirror and seen they were helping others coming after me. Was this racially motivated? Highly likely. Not gonna waste my time here again.

Although I still hate supporting the same city that ticketed me (and again..what are you doing with my $100?). This garage is $3 an hour. WHAT. I'm just so happy not to be stressed out about parking. Super weird entrance in a tiny alley by the post office so you get to weave around some postal trucks. If you are parking in the Marina for over 2 hours or just hate finding street parking, this is a good spot. Thank the heavens for the city-version of reasonably priced garage.

It's a little tricky entering the amount of time you want so you might have to figure it out. They have limited hours to 1030pm most nights, so it's not the best for late night events.
