British-inspired driving…read more SAFETY (3 stars): Brightly lit garage, but super dark outside on the street-side entrance as well as the alley-way entrance. SPACES (3 stars): Average size, but a little on the small side. NAVIGATION (2 stars): Someone please tell me, WHY must we drive on The Left? It's bizarre and rather dangerous, as I've seen drunk people not quite sure how to handle those turns. Even sober it can be daunting. It's not a big deal as long as no one is going in the opposite direction. But as soon as you add someone else to the mix, everyone tenses up. You can see the fear in their eyes. PRICE / HOURS (4 stars): Free, but a 2-hour time limit and NO parking from 2:00-6:00 am, unless you are a permit holder. VERDICT: 1. I really don't like playing with death in this British-inspired parking lot. I've adapted to driving on The Left for this parking lot, but what about newbies who unknowingly park here? Scary. 2. Who designed this place?! Perhaps Sunnyvale's parking lot designers somehow got their paws on this project. That would explain a lot.

I went on a Friday at 12:30 pm and there was plenty of parking on the third floor. Not sure how busy it gets on weekends though.

This is a three hour FREE parking garage. I never had a problem finding a spot right away. They…read morehave Permit Parking on the Basement and from 3rd to 5th and public parking on all floors. I never tried going on their rooftop because I am too lazy to walk up and down those flights of stairs. Hellooooo? I'm usually wearing heels. Make sure to move your car after the three hour is up because those people who works for the City of Palo Alto will give you a ticket and that's a good $41 bucks! You can prolly leave your car for additional 30minutes more after the 3hrs but I will not risk it if I were you. If you think you will stay here for more than 8 hours and don't want to move your car from one garage to another, you can pay the $15 whole day permit. Be careful not to occupy 2 slots because they will give you a tix for that as well. Entrance and Exit on both Webster St and Cowper St. OK? Thanks! Bye! :)

This was my secret parking in downtown for a long time until downtown PA started getting super…read morebusy. Now they've recently fucked up the Webster side entrance and made the lower level permit only Mon-Fri. Hopefully they get that construction done soon. But generally if the area is crowded you'll always find parking up in the higher levels and the roof actually has a great view of the area.

Free parking, in a garage, in a moneyed area? What's not to love. I came here because my hubs and I…read morewere in the area. Yes, the parking is tight. Yes, I had to drive around a couple of times to find a spot, that I was confident that I could get into. I even, moved my car to an easier spot, after I'd parked and left my car. But, the upside? I came back to my car and it was still there. No windows were broken. No one tried to open my trunk. I could take the elevator upstairs and exit the building. The same one I used to re-enter the building, once I'd found it. The only issue? Well, I had to back out of my space (luckily, I'd parked next to a handicapped parking access aisle, so I could get into my car just fine. But, I had to pull out of the space for my husband to get in. A non-issue and another reason I was grateful. So, I'd look for a spot here just because and that's fine with me.

So high you can touch the sky…read more SAFETY (4 stars): Haven't seen any sketchy folks hanging about. 5 levels easily accessible by stairs and elevator. SPACES (4 stars): Decently sized. You don't have to drive a Mini to park here! NAVIGATION (2 stars): People drive like crazy on the way down. Oh, need to get out of downtown Palo Alto and feel like you can/should mow other cars down in your SUV? In one ascent to the top, 3 cars nearly crashed into me as they veered around the corners toward the exit. PRICE / HOURS (4 stars): 3 hours free parking 8am-5pm. Open 24 hours. VERDICT: You'd have to be high to park here anytime after 6 pm. It's super crowded and then you have to face the chaos as it attempts to escape. TIP: Don't give up if levels 1-4 are totally full. Often the roof will still have spaces available. Not sure why people don't want to park up there... maybe they don't want their nice cars to get dirty. ;)
