Parking is easy to get into but a rat maze to get out of…read more Parking garage right next to the Awesome!!!! restaurant The Place To Be. First time parking in this garage because of the event that was going on at that restaurant. I drove in really easy getting my ticket and parking. Unfortunately when I left the restaurant at 8:30 at night, the garage doors were closed and the door to the level where my car was parked which was on the street level was locked. I had to ask a passer buyer what to do and if I could even get my car out. She's like yeah you can go up one level just walk up the stairs. Unfortunately the door to get into the garage stairwell was super hard to open. I had to go up a set of stairs walk over to the elevator go down an elevator Just get back to my car. Then I had to drive around and find the exit because three of the exits were closed. Definitely not the easiest city garage to use. Hopefully they do some improvements Not only the doors to make them easier to open but also to work with the local restaurants for validated parking to minimize the cost to the patrons they come to spend your money at an awesome restaurant. Just a suggestion.

I currently park in the Constitution Plaza North garage. I am not sure how much monthly parking…read morewould be on your own since it is partially paid by my company. I love parking in this garage because of many reasons. They have an enterance/exit for month parkers onto 3 of the 4 streets it touches. I use different exists depending on which highway I am getting on, but both 84 and 91 and very conviently to the garage. The stairs and elevator also go all the way up to the Plaza level which is awesome for walking to work. I usually take the step up to the Plaza so I can walk over the roads and not have to worrry about the traffic or anything like that. However when it rains the South Garage is great because I can walk through it and avoid the rain. Although I can't get into the North Garage on weekends, its only $5 bucks to park in South on weekends.

I hope the management of this parking lot reads this, because something very, very wrong is going…read moreon under your nose, right here at 66-70 Asylum Street. We pulled into the lot on a busy Thursday night and were met by an attendant standing in front of the gate. He asked for $15 and when we handed him a $20, he asked if we really wanted change because he didn't have any. When we said we sure as hell wanted that $5 change, we ended up looking through our wallets and did come up with that $15 in exact change. He gave us a white parking ticket and into the lot we went. There were no "legal" spots left and we were directed to park in an aisle. As we left the car we were hoping it would be undamaged by someone navigating what was now a much tighter corner than usual. At our Yelp event across the street, we found out that our experience with the shady lot attendant was not unique, he had pulled that scam on many more customers. Driving out at the end of the night, we were met by a different attendant who asked us to put our ticket into the machine to see what we owed. We said we had already paid and showed this guy our white ticket. He asked where was the "Pink Ticket", which apparently is your payment receipt when the lot is manned by other folks (presumably more honest) on other days. We told him we didn't get a pink ticket, and he just shook his head, opened the gate and let us out. The line of cars in front of us waiting to get out of the lot told us that our conversation with attendant #2 had been repeated many times for all of the cars in front of us. So you tell me what's going on here, because I sure as hell can't. But I definitely smell the odor of something rotten, like a barrelful of fish heads stewing in the sun.

In my experience with Propark yesterday (building on many, many other interactions with these…read morefolks), the level of rudeness and incompetency is staggering. I love attending events at The Society Room and do so on a fairly regular basis. Last night, I hosted a large party where Propark was supposed to issue discounted parking for guests - $6 instead of the standard $10 evening rate (as the lot is adjacent to the venue). Not only were my guests coming in full of confusion after the parking guys told everyone they'd be getting their parking validated (not the case), but they were incredibly rude to me once I tried to nicely address it. I literally walked out from my own event (in heels) and was given a combination of blank stares and bad attitudes instead of any kind of feasible explanation. Not to mention the fact that when I turned and walked away to return to the gala, one of the guys scoffed "nice dress." Also, the lot is cash only - archaic much?

Last night my husband and I parked in the Morgan Street Parking lot next to the G Fox building to…read morecelebrate a wedding for our cousin. We walked out of the wedding having a nice night and to our surprise, our car was missing! We called the Police Department and found out our car had been towed by CT Auto & Towing LLC. We were told it had been towed because we parked in a handicap accessible spot. If you look at the photo I posted, we were not parked in the spot that clearly has an above ground sign. We were parked in the end corner spot which DOES NOT have the above ground sign as required by Connecticut General Statutes, Sec. 14-253a(h) - (https://www.enfield-ct.gov/DocumentCenter/View/277/Handicapped-Parking-PDF?bidId=). Apparently there was a handicap print on the pavement, but it is barely visible because it is so worn and the lighting in the parking lot is not great. I specifically picked this spot because it was the only area of the parking light with good light, which is important in such a dangerous city as Hartford, and yet I still didn't see the print on the pavement!!! Why would a parking lot have one spot with an above ground sign and another without this?! Is it because they are in cahoots with the local towing companies??? Seems like it to me! My second photo shows blue dots that represent cars towed in the last 30 days. 930 cars times $180=$167,400 in one month.   What a shame for Hartford and the G Fox building. No wonder why no one wants to go downtown anymore....

Union Station in Hartford is a historic transportation hub located in downtown Hartford that…read morecombines classic railroad architecture with modern regional transit services. Originally built in the late 19th century, the brownstone station retains much of its historic character, with a grand waiting hall featuring high ceilings, large windows, and traditional architectural details. Walking inside, the atmosphere feels like a true old-fashioned train station while still serving the needs of today's commuters and travelers. The main reason to visit is the station's role as a central transportation connection throughout Connecticut and the Northeast. Amtrak trains provide access to destinations including New Haven, New York, Springfield, and Vermont, while the Hartford Line commuter rail and CTfastrak bus network make it a convenient option for both daily commuters and longer-distance travelers. The ability to connect between rail and bus services in one location makes it an important part of Hartford's transportation system. The station itself is compact and easy to navigate compared to larger city terminals. The main waiting area includes seating, ticket counters, restrooms, and basic vending options, providing the essentials needed before a departure. The short walking distances between the waiting hall, bus areas, and train platforms make transferring between services relatively simple. The overall experience is practical and efficient. The station can become busy during commuter rushes when trains and buses arrive close together, but the layout handles the crowds well. Its downtown location also makes it convenient for reaching nearby offices, restaurants, and government buildings, with parking garages and lots available nearby for those driving in. Overall, Union Station is a reliable and historic gateway into Hartford. The combination of its beautiful preserved architecture, convenient transit connections, and straightforward layout makes it a valuable transportation hub for exploring Connecticut and the surrounding Northeast region.
