Some garages in the city have one way which is nice and less chances of wrecking into someone. Especially if you have a large truck like I do, the chances are increased on smashing into someone. However the off-peak rates after 5 PM was very nice at $4 compared to some places that charge $6 and much more on flat rates on Friday - Sunday. It was simple to pay on the bottom floor, getting around wasn't as easy when you're parked around a corner, you have to walk a distance to locate an elevator. However for $4 worth it.

Ok, this Alco brand parking garage is a real contender to be my first choice when parking in a…read moregarage in downtown Pittsburgh. Firstly, even to qualify for an entry into the competition, the garage must be either new or recently renovated as the historic garages were built when cars and trucks were smaller. It was my first time parking here so there was a bit of a learning curve for this reviewer which lead to the deciding factor to write this review. I ran into trouble when I was at the exit gate. I had been given a validation card (with some instructions printed right on it) from the business I had specifically parked here to come visit). My first user error was I had no idea how much value was on the card vs. how long I had been parked thinking it was unlimited or at least for 2 hours. My second user error was NOT paying at the Pay Station (which I only noticed one and being located in the Fairmont Hotel/PNC building) because at the exit gate, it did not allow enough time for me to find my wallet, get out my credit card to pay the remaining balance before spitting back out not my original cards but two non-descrip cards. Instead of going for a potential three user error, I wisely pressed the Help button. The attendant that answered the call turned a 4-star rating into a 5-star! And what took this parking garage from 3-star to a 4-star rating are its 4 parking spaces with ChargePoint EV charging stations! It's clean, well lit, secure, and easy entry/exit from the street which should be standard qualities for all parking garages in my opinion. I'm not a commuter or monthly pass holder to other nearby privately owned garages so I cannot adequately compare rates but it did feel higher than the public Pittsburgh Parking Authority garages. But they do offer a seemingly convenient rate if you are a member of the Fitness Center located in the Fairmont Hotel. I'm planning to give it another go to see if my second experience is enough to unseat my current favorite downtown Pittsburgh parking garage. Stay tuned dear readers of parking garage reviews.

Rates and hours are very clearly marked; no confusion! Just pull in, take a ticket on the way in, park (I kept my ticket in my purse), and when you leave, the machine will read how many hrs you were there and charge you accordingly. I paid by card and there was no extra fee. Easy peasy. I think I paid $11 for around 5 hours.

However, with recent shutdowns of the "T" for repairs, I needed an alternative. This garage is close to theaters in the area and, in particular, to Peirce Studio, the one we needed on Liberty Ave. They have a flat rate of $8 as of this posting for evenings so it makes it comparable to best parking options. The downside was a confusing situation and the guy parking in front of me wanting me and everyone behind me to back up at the entry gate. Why? Because of signage at the entrance indicating it was full except for lease holders. Fortunately, after a few minutes of said confusion and any of us being unable to backup in traffic of pedestrians, busses, and cars, a staff member came out and simply turned the sign around so that its verbiage allowed entry. Whew! Other than that, parking was a-ok BUT I am not sure I want to be at the mercy of a sign to know whether I can or cannot park there.

The entrances on both sides make it convenient to get into, and the rates are pretty standard for the city, especially on the weekends. My only real complaint is that the layout inside is a bit tight and dated, so navigating the tight turns can be annoying during busy event hours. Overall, it gets the job done without too much fuss, but it isn't anything fancy.

The walk over included passing by sketchy characters lingering around the area. The parking attendant was absent and didn't answer the help button at the exit. Our ticket was being rejected as "unreadable", and we had no recourse but to back up the ramp and try to go find someone. After a ten minute ordeal, the attendant showed up at the desk in the lobby and did something to our ticket so the machine would take it. He didn't even seem phased, like unreadable tickets are just the norm. It was $6 to park and not bad, but definitely not worth the hassle.

Many businesses such as restaurants are within walking distance of these garages. Upon exiting, I felt surprised that the rate for several hours on a Saturday was only $1! If you look at my photos, you will see that the rates are higher on Monday through Friday. Currently, construction is occurring on Washington Road, so this garage did not have a working automated payment machine, and an employee had to process my payment. This cashier was courteous.

I park here for everywhere I go downtown. Standard day parking is always going to run you WAY too high in the city ($14 for 4+ hours, eek!). But after 4pm you're golden for a flat rate of $7. This garage is smack dab in the middle of the Cultural District. So you're in the middle of all the theaters. This is also the best place to park when you need to head over to the North Side. It's just a short walk across the bridge to PNC Park or Heinz Field for probably way cheaper than you'll find over there Listen kids, because this is the HUGE tip of the day. If you know you're going to be getting out at the same time as the other theater goers (or misc event goers) park going down so you have a better chance of getting out faster. There, aren't I nice?!

During the work day the rates are high (although not any more than other downtown ramps) but after 5 it has a flat fee of $10. There are ten levels to the ramp. Going up you'll visit the odd floors and down the even. If you are parking around 5 or 6 make sure to head down and check for spots where cars may have left for the day. Watch when you are leaving, though, as it can be tough to back out. The spaces leave enough room for you to comfortably open your door and exit even when the car next to you parks close and even "compact car only" spaces seem to fit larger cars (as there are often SUVs parked there). The elevators are glass and have a view out onto 7th street while going up or down. They are fairly efficient even when crowded right after a show. You pay in the lobby and it is smart to do it before you leave rather than waiting in line after your show or event.

Height clearances are about 7' to 8'. I read that this garage has chargers for electrical vehicles, but I have not used them. This garage is near businesses such as Acrisure Stadium, PNC Park, Stage AE, and many others. I have parked my vehicle at this garage off and on for many years. I have never experienced any problems with the parking spots, elevators, payment machines, crime, etcetera. For my most recent visit, I paid $5 to park my vehicle here for one hour while I attended the nearby Rib Fest.
