Never knew you could review parking lots or parking structures which is probably the most strange…read morereview I'll ever write but anything is Yelp-able! Anywho, the Perry Lot. It's not just your ordinary parking structure it's a Berkeley parking structure. It seriously has its own culture within the parking lot. You can feel the hipster vintage vibes seeping through the cement walls, air was very hipster and vintage. It was like being in a different world but in Berkeley. Stepping out of the car I was so confused as I felt I was instantly thrown back into the 70s with all the vintage energy i was receiving from this parking structure. A burst of cold air rushed in and reminding me I was not in the 70s but in Berkeley 2021. It's cold so dress accordingly!!! I never do :( On a serious note, your typical parking structure that leads to like the main road with shops, food and clothes!! I seriously love the architecture of the parking structure. Since I lived in Los Angeles I always dread parking structures ---- they give me nightmares but this wasn't so bad probably because we found parking mega easy! We felt safe, the car was still there and walking distance to main areas. I recommend giving this parking structure a shot :) it's not just an ordinary parking structure it's a BERKELEY parking structure, according to the dude xD

It's okay as far as parking garages go. For several hours on a Sunday, it cost only $9 to park,…read morewhich is great. The location is awesome, and central to a lot of good shopping and local eateries, and close to campus. There is a bathroom in the building near the pay stations, but it was out of toilet paper, seat covers and soap, so clearly not maintained very often as it was not very late in the day, As other reviewers have mentioned, the parking spaces are tight. I have a small car, and it when the garage started filling up, it was more difficult to leave the space I parked in. Overall good experience.

This past Saturday was the third time I've used this garage in a two-week span. Ideally located and…read moreconvenient to the eateries and businesses in a busy area of Berkeley, I've definitely taken advantage of the first hour free, to avoid any fees when I visit spots like Insomnia Cookies, The Yard Milkshake Bar, and Games of Berkeley. The one-way lanes in the garage are a little confusing at first, but they do have a lot of signs and painted arrows on the ground to help lead the way. The parking spaces are narrow, but the garage is spacious otherwise so it's not cramped when trying to back out. Visitors pay for parking at the Telegraph Channing Shops, next to the elevator on ground level. Restrooms are located here, too. But there's often a long wait for the elevator, so I prefer to take the stairs up back to my car. Beware, the stairways are nasty and smelly and have limited access. You can only enter the stairwell on Channing, as Durant is exit only and the door is locked from the outside.

Parked here during the phoebe bridgers concert and, knowing there was an event there(had event parking signage), closed before the concert was even done. the stairwell looks dangerous as hell, reeks of piss, and is overall extremely dirty. Do NOT park your car here, especially if you want to leave by 11:00 pm at night. terrible structural build as well, if you park near a wall prepare to hit your car door on the wall, for some god awful reason there's tiny little ledges that can cause some serious damage to the car. Overall: find a better parking lot, this place is fucking dogshit

This place is a scam. More on that later, but if you're TL;DRing, just know it's a scam…read more Downtown Berkeley has its share of awful parking garages. This isn't the worst one, but it's pretty bad. Its design is atrocious. Instead of just building a squarish parking structure in an empty lot, they built this one into an existing building, so there are all these random walls everywhere. The only way I can think of to describe the interior configuration is that it's a long diamond. Now try to fit parking spots into those curved edges. There are also random single slots between walls and columns. Its design is just horribly inefficient. Once you've finally found parking, if you were able to, you probably won't know how to get out, because the signs are confusing, and the elevator and the exit seem to be in completely different places. The painted walking/wheelchair paths on the ground make absolutely no sense, either. My main gripe with this place is that its posted prices are lower than what the machine charges you. That's right; they charge more than they say they will, which is a violation of California law. I hope someone sues the bejesus out of whoever owns this poor excuse for a parking garage. This being the City of Berkeley, it's probably owned by the city but managed by some two-bit contractor. Beware, visitors, beware! You're generally better off getting more fairly and honestly ripped off at the newish structure on Addison Street.

Center Street Parking Garage is close to many businesses and UC Berkeley, which is why parking…read morerates are higher compared to other parking garages from Downtown Berkeley. Basically, it's $3/hr until your 4th hour, which is $25. These parking garage levels are quite complex because their names start with a number and then letter (e.g. 4E), which is why I had a hard time looking for my car since I only relied on just the parking level rather than its name. Be careful not to park overnight and then the next day. Some reviewers said that they can't go to their cars since they arrived outside of hours of operation and ended up paying way more most likely because their cars are parked the next day and that parking rates are enforced. I highly advise you to read the signs carefully and leave the garage before this garage closes. Overall, this is a convenient parking garage to go to if you plan to stay for more than 4 hours.

We went to Berkley last night - a Tuesday night - to have dinner and catch a show. Got there around…read more4 PM, did not want to rush. We had a nice evening, but I was taken aback by the $25 cost for parking when we left. Getting there at 4 to have a relaxing evening as opposed to 5 and having to rush cost us $16, which is excessive by any standard. The people who set up the pricing structure have to know this and apparently don't care. Personally, I don't like being looked at as a cash cow. I love Berkeley, our family history there goes back the better part of a century, but this left a bad taste in my mouth. It is a clean, well lit garage with an excellent location. That being said, will probably be less likely to spend an evening in that part of town next time, so good job City of Berkeley!
